As a business development company, FSK provides financing solutions designed to support growth initiatives, acquisitions, leveraged buyouts and recapitalizations for privately held enterprises.

Established in 2018 through a strategic partnership between FS Investment Corporation and KKR Credit Advisors, a division of global investment firm KKR & Co.

Investments may include both sponsored transactions—where a private equity firm is involved—and non-sponsored deals, allowing flexibility to pursue proprietary opportunities.

Operating predominantly throughout the United States, together with select investments in Canada, FS KKR Capital Corp seeks to deliver attractive risk-adjusted returns to its shareholders. Its management team leverages deep industry relationships to source, structure and monitor credit investments, while ongoing portfolio management focuses on preserving capital and supporting the underlying growth trajectories of its portfolio companies.
