Bain Capital, Ares expand credit facilities

Two non-traded BDCs reinforced their balance sheets this week through facility expansions. Bain Capital Private Credit drew a modest $50M accordion on its Goldman Sachs revolving facility ahead of its June tender deadline, while Ares Strategic Income Fund made a more substantial move, expanding its JPMorgan facility by $850M to $4.1B, extending its runway to 2031, and eliminating a 0.10% credit spread adjustment. These moves add to a broader wave of liquidity management activity seen across the space in recent weeks, including Golub Capital’s $525M SMBC facility expansion, Blue Owl’s $1.35B Core Income Funding VI restructuring, and HPS’s $600M unsecured notes issuance. In contrast to the broader redemption pressure seen across the credit BDC space, BREIT reported strong Q1 results, and with 3 consecutive months of net inflows and active capital deployment, actions that put them on strong liquidity footing rather than managing defensive liquidity needs.

Weekly Liquidity Roundup
Bain Capital Private Credit Increases Credit Facility
Bain Capital Private Credit fund expanded its revolving credit facility by $50 million, from $200 million to $250 million, through the accordion feature in its existing credit agreement with Goldman Sachs from 2023. This modest facility expansion bolsters available liquidity ahead of their June 1 tender offer deadline.


Ares Strategic Income Fund Increases Credit Facility
Ares Strategic Income Fund amended and restated its JPMorgan-administered credit facility, achieving four significant improvements: 1) extending the revolving period to May 2030 and maturity to May 2031, 2) increasing commitments by $850 million from $3.25 billion to $4.1 billion, 3) eliminating the 0.10% credit spread adjustment on USD loans, and 4) modifying certain covenant restrictions. The facility also includes an accordion feature allowing expansion up to $6.15 billion.


Blackstone Real Estate Income Trust Reports Strong 1Q26
Blackstone Real Estate Income Trust returned 2.0% in Q1 2026 with positive performance every month, and subscriptions were up 44% year-over-year in Q1 2026 with three consecutive months of positive net flows. The fund is also actively deploying new capital, reporting that data centers are the fastest-growing allocation at 23% of portfolio (up from 1% in 2020). The combination of positive results suggest a strong liquidity profile as net flows have been positive and capital is being deployed.
