Fund continued deployment into first‑lien private loans; portfolio remains concentrated in secured debt.

MSC Income originated or increased private loan commitments of $94.2 million in Q3 2025 and funded new investments with a cost basis of $74.6 million, taking total private loan investments at cost to approximately $761.1 million across 81 companies. The new activity breaks down into multiple first‑lien senior secured term loans, revolvers and delayed draws, plus small equity stakes; the portfolio is 92.0% first‑lien senior secured and 8.0% equity/other by cost.

The business mechanism is straightforward: the Fund deploys capital into senior secured private credit across diverse end markets, capturing yield and security via first‑lien positions while keeping limited equity exposure. Key dependencies and risks include credit performance of the 81 obligors, concentration by sector or borrower not disclosed here, and the pace of funding versus contractual commitments; the release provides no delinquency, covenant, or yield metrics to assess credit quality. Watch near‑term funding cadence and any disclosed credit metrics by Q4 2025 or in the next quarterly report to evaluate realized returns, losses, or material changes in portfolio composition.
