In Antares Nuclear’s own words
Quoted from the organisation’s own site as we archived it. Their description of themselves, not ours, and not a claim this site has checked.
Antares Capital is a leading alternative credit manager with 30 years of experience. Backed by the Canada Pension Plan Investment Board or “CPPIB”, one of the world’s leading pension funds, we combine scale, focus, and discipline through market cycles, delivering trusted credit solutions across core private credit, liquid credit, and liquidity solutions for global investors, sponsors, and borrowers.
Our platform provides access to a high volume of opportunities, allowing us to be selective and lead transactions with sponsors we know well. That selectivity supports consistency in origination and diversity in portfolio construction.
Three decades of private credit investing across cycles inform how we underwrite risk and manage portfolios. Our experience is embedded in our process, from initial screening through active credit management.
Antares takes meaningful principal risk alongside our investors. We actively seek opportunities within our asset class, with an emphasis on capturing relative value. We are not asset gatherers; rather, we are true co-investors 1 focused on delivering attractive risk-adjusted returns for our investors.
Antares was built from the ground up as a private credit lender. Over more than 30 years, that focus has scaled into an integrated platform—where breadth is a direct extension of our credit discipline. Our core strategy centers on first-lien, senior-secured, floating-rate loans to sponsor-backed companies in the core middle market. We are designed to deliver consistent income and downside protection across market cycles.
Our scale enables us to lead the vast majority of our investments—structuring terms, maintaining visibility, and acting decisively as conditions evolve. The result is portfolios built around our highest-conviction credits.
We aim to leverage our decades of experience, trusted sponsor relationships, and market-leading scale to provide credit solutions that create lasting value for all our partners.
Our team brings decades of experience across credit investing, underwriting, and portfolio management, with a focus on disciplined execution across market cycles.
