Antares Strategic Credit Fund is a Delaware statutory trust and a non-diversified, closed-end management investment company that has elected to be regulated as a business development company under the 1940 Act. The Fund seeks to provide risk-adjusted returns and current income to shareholders by investing primarily in loans to U.S. borrowers, with a strategy focused on private credit Portfolio Loans (including senior secured first lien, second lien and unitranche loans) and a smaller allocation to more liquid credit investments such as broadly syndicated loans and corporate bonds to manage liquidity. The Fund intends to sell Common Shares on a continuous basis, generally quarterly, at prices generally equal to NAV and expects to conduct semi-annual repurchase offers (as of each June 30 and December 31) pursuant to its share repurchase program, and is externally managed by Antares Capital Credit Advisers LLC.
