FS Investments

FS Investments operates 4 distinct investment strategies on Termgrid: Direct Lending, Clo Vehicle, Liquid Loans Fund, Special Situations Fund. Each strategy has its own criteria, ticket-size band and sector appetite, and is profiled separately on the firm's Termgrid page. Sponsors evaluating FS Investments typically look at the specific strategy that fits the deal type rather than the firm as a whole — the right contact and capital pool varies by strategy.

FS Investments deploys ARR Loans, Co-invest, Liquid Loans, Others, Preferred Equity, Special Situations, Subordinated / Junior Debt / Mezzanine, and Unitranche / Senior Debt Direct Lending across its 4 strategies. These instruments are used in sponsor-backed transactions and direct corporate financings where FS Investments participates as a lender, with the breadth (8 distinct products) suggesting flexibility on capital structure. Specific tranching, pricing and structuring are negotiated per transaction; the standard band sits in the Investment Criteria section.

FS Investments is active in United States, United Kingdom, W.Europe, and Nordics. Sponsors running cross-border processes can include FS Investments where any of these geographies match the borrower or transaction. Regional focus reflects current deployment patterns recorded by Termgrid; firms periodically extend their mandate, so check the platform for the most current view.

Yes. FS Investments underwrites credits across sectors on a deal-by-deal basis rather than to a fixed industry mandate. Sector-agnostic lenders are typically preferred for transactions in markets where the borrower's industry is unusual, sits between common categories, or where the credit thesis depends more on capital structure than vertical-specific expertise.
