Hogan Lovells has advised Pantheon as lead investor on seeding a new €450m private credit fund, European Middle Market Credit Fund, for SMBC. The fund vehicle is seeded by a strip of SMBC’s investments in high-quality performing loans held on its balance sheet and also contains a primary capital commitment.
The European Middle Market Credit Fund will focus on direct, senior-secured loan investments to middle-market private equity-backed businesses in Europe operating in resilient sectors less affected by economic trends.
The cross-practice Hogan Lovells team that represented Pantheon was led by Co-head of our Secondaries practice, Ed Harris, with secondaries senior associate Charlotte Monk, secondaries associate Gilbert Hwani, funds partner Amelia Stawpert, funds senior associate Marco Orsini Jones, funds associate Sadhbh Browne, and tax counsel Natalie Psaila.
