SLR Investment Corp Net Asset Value Rises to $18.26 per Share
As of December 31, 2025, net asset value was $18.26 per share, up modestly from both the prior quarter ended September 30, 2025 and the prior year ended December 31, 2024. "SLRC's fourth-quarter results solidified a strong year for the Company despite challenging conditions in the private credit industry. The stability in both NII and NAV per share in the fourth quarter generated a 10.1% return on equity and showcased another quarter of broad resilience in our portfolio, steady portfolio growth, and a continuation of a shift to direct asset based-lending investments that are supported primarily by high quality current assets as collateral and an expectation for attractive risk-adjusted returns," said Michael Gross Co-CEO of SLR Investment Corp. "SLRC's diversity of private credit investment strategies provides investors with a differentiated and uncorrelated pool of assets that is unique and can be viewed as a more attractive alternative relative to increasing investor concerns about private market industry exposure to software companies."
