NEW YORK, June 14, 2017 -- TCG BDC, Inc. (Nasdaq:CGBD), an externally managed specialty finance company focused on lending to middle-market companies, visited the Nasdaq MarketSite in Times Square today in celebration of its initial public offering (IPO) on The Nasdaq Stock Market. TCG BDC is managed by Carlyle GMS Investment Management L.L.C., which is a part of the Carlyle Group (NASDAQ:CG). Nasdaq is the home exchange to 75 percent of the publicly listed business development companies (BDCs).

The company utilizes a rigorous, systematic, and consistent due diligence underwriting process that has been refined over The Carlyle Group’s long history investing in private markets to evaluate all investment opportunities. Since the company commenced investment operations in May 2013 through March 31, 2017, TCG BDC invested more than $2.4 billion in aggregate principal amount of debt and equity investments prior to any subsequent exits or repayments.
