“We have several long-standing limited partners in Australia and we look forward to our continued strategic growth and expansion in Australia,” says Monroe president Zia Uddin. “In recent years, Australian investors have shown increased interest and appreciation for the Monroe platform and the private credit asset class. We have a tremendous opportunity to expand our footprint in this significant market."
