Audax Mezzanine invests in subordinated debt and junior securities of middle market companies. Audax Mezzanine seeks a diverse portfolio of mezzanine securities to achieve attractive risk-adjusted rates of return. We aim to be the sole or lead investor, but will participate with other mezzanine debt investors in certain circumstances.

Audax Mezzanine focuses on private and public middle market businesses with a history of cash flow stability, consistent revenue growth, and a controlling or influential shareholder who has meaningful capital at risk. We also consider investments in dynamic, fast-growing companies with experienced management and well-defined expansion strategies.
