Goldman Sachs Specialty Lending Group ("SLG") is a hybrid investment firm established to invest in middle-market companies across a wide variety of industries. Acting as a principal investor, we seek to hold sizeable positions with a long term investment focus. Our focus on underwriting the underlying intrinsic value of a business enables us to creatively invest in a broad spectrum of risk. We are able to fully underwrite single-lien structures ranging from $15 to $150 million of funded capital. These fully underwritten, one-stop financing solutions incorporate first-lien, second-lien, mezzanine, and equity risks in a simple capital structure that eliminates inter-creditor issues and syndication risk, which enables fast and reliable closings. We also have the flexibility to invest in individual tranches of capital on a risk adjusted return basis. SLG has a dedicated healthcare finance team.
