Conservative, Strong Capitalization

With $5.3 billion of assets, PSEC is among the largest of the BDCs. We benefit from a strong balance sheet with long-term matched-book funding, reasonable leverage, and a high level of unencumbered assets. As affirmation of our financial profile, we have investment grade ratings from S&P, Moody’s, Kroll, and Egan-Jones. Management and affiliates of Prospect own approximately 26% of outstanding PSEC shares as of 6/30/2020, so we are very much aligned with our shareholders.
