, 2011, Messrs. Attanasio and Chapus, along with the entire investment team, spun out of TCW and formed Crescent, an employee-owned, registered investment adviser. Crescent is a global credit investment manager with over $45 billion of assets under management. With its headquarters in Los Angeles, Crescent has over 230 employees based in five offices in the U.S. and Europe. Messrs. Attanasio and Chapus head Crescent’s management committee, which oversees all of Crescent’s operations. On January 5, 2021, Sun Life Financial Inc. (together with its subsidiaries and joint ventures, “Sun Life”) acquired a majority interest in Crescent (the “Sun Life Transaction”). As a result of the Sun Life Transaction, Crescent became a part of SLC Management, the institutional alternatives and traditional asset management business of Sun Life. There were no changes to our investment objective, strategies and process or to the Crescent team responsible for the investment operations as a result of the Sun Life Transaction. 

The Board of Directors 

Our business and affairs are managed under the direction of our Board. Our Board consists of six members, five of whom are not “interested persons” of CCAP, the Adviser, the Administrator or their respective affiliates as defined in Section 2(a)(19) of the 1940 Act. We refer to these individuals as our “Independent Directors.” The Independent Directors compose a majority of our Board. Our Board elects our officers, who serve at the discretion of our Board. The responsibilities of our Board include oversight of our quarterly determinations of the fair value of our assets, corporate governance activities, oversight of our financing arrangements and oversight of our investment activities. 

Investment Strategy

We believe that the middle-market is attractive as a result of the lack of available lending sources to smaller companies. We believe many financing providers have chosen to focus on large corporate clients and managing capital markets transactions rather than lending to middle-market businesses.

We also believe hedge funds and collateralized debt obligation/collateralized loan obligation managers are less likely to pursue investment opportunities in our target market as a result of reduced liquidity for new investments.
