Guided by Values. Proven Over Time.

Our Values—Leading, Partnering, Belonging, Innovating, and Delivering—together with our Guiding Principles, shape how we work across teams and support clients through changing markets. As the platform has grown, those standards have remained consistent.

How We Work

Build Your Career

Antares has helped shape private credit over three decades, with meaningful opportunity still ahead. Our mission is to create lasting value for our partners. That requires disciplined credit judgment and a consistent approach to decision-making: communicate clearly, act with conviction, and stand behind outcomes. For individuals who are curious, engaged, and motivated to take on real responsibility, it is a place to build a career over time.

Our scale creates breadth of opportunity. Our structure keeps it visible. Teams work closely across the platform with direct access to decision-makers, giving individuals clear line of sight into how their work contributes to Antares’ broader strategy and outcomes.

  • Results grounded in judgmentWe take responsibility for outcomes through rigorous underwriting and clear decision-making—shaped by decades of investing across market cycles.
  • One platform, one standardOur teams work closely across investing, capital markets, and client coverage, sharing information and perspective so decisions are informed and aligned.
  • Built to evolve with disciplineWe continue to expand the platform selectively, developing new strategies where we have conviction and can deliver with the same standards applied across the firm.
  • Relationships that carry forwardMany partnerships span multiple transactions, ownership cycles, and market environments. That continuity reflects how we work: directly, reliably, and with a long-term perspective.

Corporate Social Responsibility

Supporting Our Communities

Corporate Social Responsibility at Antares means we are committed to supporting our local communities and partnering with organizations that create meaningful and measurable impact. We support a range of national and local nonprofits across four key areas: education, underserved youth, social justice and equity, and health.

We Build Community Initiative

Through our We Build Community Initiative, employees have the opportunity to amplify the firm’s charitable impact through hands-on involvement in the communities where we live and work. Team members are actively engaged in various philanthropic initiatives, whether it’s mentoring students, organizing clothing donation drives, or sprucing up local parks. Through these combined efforts, we aim to build stronger, healthier communities.

The Antares REACH program

The Antares REACH program further extends our commitment to community engagement by supporting entrepreneurs from underrepresented backgrounds, including by income, background, identity, disability, and veteran status. In partnership with Hello Alice, REACH helps expand access to capital and resources to participants at early stages of business formation. We collaborate with ecosystem partners to provide grants, mentorship, networks, and training to support long-term growth.

 

This approach reflects the same long-term perspective and partnership mindset that defines how we invest.

In Their Own Words
Voices from Across Antares

Work at Antares is analytical, collaborative, and closely connected to the investment process itself. Teams work side by side across investing, capital markets, client coverage, and corporate functions, with open dialogue and direct access to decision-makers. Successes are shared across the platform, and professionals are expected to contribute early and often.

Many careers develop over time within the firm, reflecting an environment where learning happens through experience, mentorship, and increasing responsibility across market cycles.

  • To me, high performance means going above and beyond and taking ownership of outcomes. In underwriting, that means thinking deeply about each investment opportunity and leveraging the firm’s experience and resources to structure the best outcomes possible.
