(NYSE:NCDL) is a business development company that seeks to generate current income and, to a lesser extent, long-term capital appreciation by investing in privately owned middle-market companies. The company primarily focuses on directly originated loans and other debt investments rather than publicly traded securities. NCDL generally invests in senior-secured loans, including first-lien and unitranche loans, and may make select junior debt and equity investments. Its portfolio companies operate across a range of industries, and the company typically emphasizes businesses with established operations, recurring cash flow and experienced management teams. The company is externally managed by Churchill Asset Management LLC, an investment manager affiliated with Nuveen, the asset-management arm of TIAA. Churchill’s direct-lending platform serves middle-market borrowers primarily in the United States. NCDL began operating as a private business development company before its common stock was listed on the New York Stock Exchange.AI Generated. May Contain Errors.
