Frequently asked questions
What distinguishes ArrowMark's approach to private credit?
ArrowMark focuses on direct origination across niche lending verticals — including middle-market corporate lending, healthcare royalties, and structured real estate credit — rather than purchasing broadly syndicated loans. This origination-focused model allows the firm to set custom covenant packages and maintain tighter control over credit selection.
Who leads investment decisions at ArrowMark Partners?
CIO Guillermo Cano oversees ArrowMark's investment platform, supported by a team of sector-specialist portfolio managers. CEO Karen Reidy manages the firm's overall business strategy. Both are original founders and maintain active roles in portfolio management and investment committee decisions.
Does ArrowMark invest in equity or is it entirely credit-focused?
ArrowMark is fundamentally a credit manager, but its healthcare royalty strategy sits adjacent to equity-like returns — it provides non-dilutive financing to life sciences companies in exchange for revenue-based royalties, rather than traditional equity ownership. The firm does not run a dedicated equity strategy.
What types of borrowers does ArrowMark typically lend to?
ArrowMark targets middle-market companies, generally with EBITDA between $10 million and $75 million, across healthcare, technology, and commercial services. It also lends to specialty finance platforms and provides transitional real estate loans backed by hard assets.
How is ArrowMark owned and governed?
ArrowMark operates as an employee-owned partnership, with senior investment professionals holding equity in the firm. This structure is designed to align portfolio manager incentives with long-term investor outcomes and has supported stable leadership since the firm's 2007 founding.
