Monroe Capital LLC was selected as the recipient of the 2015 Lower Mid-Market Lender of the Year Award in the Americas region by the Private Debt Investor, a global independent publication based in London, covering the private debt and private equity industries. This is the third consecutive year that Monroe has been recognized by the Private Debt Investor Awards as a leader in the Lower Mid-Market, Unitranche and Senior Lender categories.
