Building Relationships for Long-term Success

Arcmont is a pioneer in the market for Private Debt in Europe and remains a key driver of the growth of Private Debt as an asset class.

The firm was founded in 2011, originally as the Private Debt division of BlueBay Asset Management and has raised more than €29 billion since inception having committed €26 billion in 350+ deals across 12 European countries. In 2019 Arcmont spun out to become independently owned and managed; we are specialists investing in a wide range of businesses, industries and markets, which require expertise, flexibility and innovative thinking.

Arcmont aims to provide capital to high quality businesses with strong management teams. Our approach is that of a true investor in businesses, rather than a lender, and we strive to build relationships to ensure we are continuously backing our partners as their needs evolve.

As of March 2023 Nuveen have acquired a majority interest in Arcmont. The remaining equity in Arcmont, which is and will continue to be owned by Arcmont employees, along with the existing Churchill equity, which will continue to be owned by Churchill senior management, has been simultaneously rolled into new equity of Nuveen Private Capital as part of the transaction. This will ensure alignment of the interests of each team to the growth of the overall Nuveen Private Capital platform.

The new ownership structure shall have no effect on the underlying funds managed or advised by Arcmont.
