NEW YORK, April 02, 2026 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Guggenheim Investments announced the final close of Guggenheim Private Debt Fund IV ("PDF IV" or the "Fund"), its most recent dedicated private debt vehicle. The Fund and related vehicles raised approximately $8.4 billion of total available capital, exceeding the initial fundraise target and with demand exceeding the Fund's hard cap*.

Differentiated Approach to Investing in Private Debt

Guggenheim's private debt platform is distinguished by its rigorous, bottoms-up credit research and due diligence process, supported by a team of over 50 credit research analysts organized by industry verticals. PDF IV focuses on sourcing first lien senior secured loans in both sponsor-backed and non-sponsor-backed companies within the core middle market.

The strategy emphasizes credit selectivity, strong downside protections1, and a demonstrated preference for leading transactions rather than participating in club deals. Guggenheim currently serves as the lead investor on over 90% of the capital invested by PDF IV and is the sole investor on 35% of invested capital, reflecting the firm's conviction-driven approach and deep sourcing capabilities.

Decades of Proven Performance

PDF IV builds upon Guggenheim's 20-plus year track record in the private debt market. Since 2002, the platform has invested over $33 billion in direct deals across more than 550 unique borrowers.
