About Prospect Capital

Prospect Capital helps mid-sized businesses get loans and investment. It provides funding for company growth, buyouts, and real estate. Its services support companies needing flexible financing for expansion or restructuring.

Money Moves: What Prospect Capital Offers

  • Senior and Subordinated Debt: Loans to private companies, including first and second lien loans, for business growth and acquisitions.
  • Mezzanine Debt: Flexible loans that sit between senior debt and equity, often used for expansion or buyouts.
  • Equity Investments: Direct ownership stakes in private companies, including common and preferred shares.
  • Structured Credit (CLOs): Investments in collateralized loan obligations, which are pools of loans packaged for investors.
  • Real Estate Investments: Focus on multi-family residential properties, supporting housing and property development.

Growth Spurts: How Prospect Capital Expands

  • Expanded real estate investments through National Property REIT Corp. since 2014, adding multi-family, student, and senior housing.
  • Increased exposure to structured credit by investing in CLO equity and secured notes since 2015.
  • Grew portfolio with $621.7 million in new investments during the nine months ended March 2025.
  • Co-invests with other funds for larger deals, broadening reach in the U.S. and Canada.

Why Prospect Capital Stands Out

Prospect Capital manages a broad portfolio across many industries and asset types. It often takes control positions, allowing active oversight of its investments. The company’s flexible approach lets it offer both loans and equity, adapting to client needs.

Five Things You Need to Know

  • Key income metric was $121 million in QQ1 2026, up 247.9% year-on-year.
  • Total investments at fair value were $6.90 billion as of March 2025.
  • Net investment income for nine months ended March 2025 was $259.8 million, down 18% year-on-year.
  • Net asset value per share fell to $7.25 in March 2025 from $8.74 in June 2024.
  • Non-accrual loans at cost were $326.6 million, or 0.6% of total assets in March 2025.

Bottom Line

Prospect Capital has built a diverse investment platform focused on mid-sized companies and real estate. Its flexible capital solutions and broad sector reach help it adapt to changing market needs.
