Sixth Street Specialty Lending, Inc. TSLX
Our investment objective is to generate current income by targeting investments with favorable "risk-adjusted returns," which are
expected returns that are adjusted based on the levels of risk associated with the investments. Since we began our investment activities in July 2011, through December 31, 2025, we have originated approximately $53.3 billion aggregate principal amount of investments and retained approximately $11.8 billion aggregate principal amount of these investments on our balance sheet prior to any subsequent exits and repayments. We seek to generate current income primarily in U.S.-domiciled middle-market companies through direct originations of senior secured loans and, to a lesser extent, originations of mezzanine and unsecured loans and investments in corporate bonds and equity securities.
