MidCap Financial Investment Corporation, formerly known as Apollo Investment Corporation, operates as an externally managed, closed-end, and non-diversified management investment vehicle. It holds the classification of a Business Development Company (BDC) under the Investment Company Act of 1940. The firm's primary investment strategy focuses on private equity opportunities within private middle-market companies. This encompasses providing capital for leveraged buyouts, corporate acquisitions, financial recapitalizations, growth initiatives, and refinancing efforts. MidCap offers a comprehensive array of financing options, including direct equity capital alongside various debt instruments such as mezzanine, first lien secured, stretch senior, unitranche, second lien secured, senior secured, unsecured, and subordinated loans. Its equity involvement further extends to preferred equity, common equity interests, and warrants, often through co-investment partnerships. Beyond these core activities, the fund also explores Private Investment in Public Equity (PIPEs) transactions and may acquire securities of thinly traded public companies, structured products, or investments from secondary markets. Additional potential allocations include cash equivalents, U.S. government securities, high-quality short-term debt, high-yield and distressed bonds, non-U.S. investments, and publicly traded companies that are not thinly traded. Specialized instruments like collateralized loan obligations (CLOs) and credit-linked notes (CLNs) are also within its scope. Predominantly, MidCap Financial Investment Corporation targets its investments within the United States. It generally allocates between $20 million and $250 million per portfolio company, focusing on businesses with less than $75 million in EBITDA.
