Business Development Company / Private Credit Markets
Strategic Profile
Established through a strategic partnership between FS Investment Corporation and KKR Credit Advisors, FSK combines KKR's global credit underwriting capabilities with FS's private credit market expertise. The company targets upper-middle-market firms with $50-150+ million EBITDA, positioning itself as a one-stop credit solutions provider for acquisition-driven middle-market companies.
Cyborg Score Rationale
