Ansley Park Capital has completed its inaugural asset-backed securitization valued at more than $400 million, marking the largest first-time issuance ever recorded in the U.S. large-ticket equipment finance market. The transaction closed on November 26, 2025.
The deal includes over $400 million in rated securities, with Moody’s rating the entire capital stack—an uncommon milestone for a first-time issuer in this sector. Investor demand exceeded expectations, with the transaction oversubscribed across all tranches.
Ansley Park—a portfolio company affiliated with Ares Alternative Credit—has expanded quickly using a credit-focused strategy to build a diversified equipment finance portfolio. The securitization underscores the company’s ability to scale its platform, maintain stringent underwriting standards, and bring institutional-grade structures to first-time ABS issuance.
Support: Deutsche Bank Securities served as sole structuring agent and joint bookrunner, alongside Truist Securities as joint bookrunner and an Ares affiliate as co-manager.
