According to Prospect, the offering has seen strong demand from the private wealth, institutional, and registered investment adviser channels with $1.8 billion in aggregate liquidation preference issuances since the initial closing in the quarter ending Dec. 31, 2020.

“Prospect’s non-traded preferred stock offers investors recurring cash income with a stable stated value, ongoing liquidity, management alignment, leverage caps, and over $3.7 billion of junior common equity credit support,” said Grier Eliasek, president of Prospect.
