Putri Pascualy: Varagon Capital Partners was founded in 2014 to build a best-in-class lending platform for US core middle market borrowers. The Firm’s founding partners include leading US insurance companies, whose mandates combine capital preservation with attractive risk-adjusted return. In 2023, Man Group acquired Varagon – as Man Varagon, we aim to be the bigger, better, faster and stronger version of our former self. With the reach and resources of a $175 billion global asset manager[1], our insurance clients benefit from access to our domain expertise in middle market lending combined with the scale of Man Group’s infrastructure, technology, and insurance expertise.
