Capitala Finance Corp. (CPTA) functions as an externally managed, non-diversified closed-end investment fund. Its primary objective is to generate both immediate income and long-term capital growth through a portfolio of debt and equity investments. The firm primarily finances companies through first lien loans, which provide the highest claim on a borrower's assets. Within its first lien holdings, CPTA may include "stretch senior secured loans," also known as unitranche loans, which blend characteristics of both traditional first lien and second lien structures. Additionally, it can participate in second lien loans, granting a secondary claim on a borrower's assets. Capitala directs its funding toward lower and traditional middle-market businesses located across the United States. Its investment strategies are managed by Capitala Investment Advisors, LLC.
