Franklin Square Capital Partners consolidates brands under FS Investments name

Related Topics

Franklin Square Capital Partners is consolidating its brands under the name FS Investments, with its affiliated broker-dealer FS2 Capital Partners becoming FS Investment Solutions.

The transition coincides with the firm's expansion of its alternative investment solutions, as well as its education and distribution platforms.
 
An abbreviation of Franklin Square, “FS” precedes the names of the firm’s investment funds – FS Investment Corporation (FSIC) and its three successor funds, FS Energy and Power Fund and FS Global Credit Opportunities Fund – as well as its co-managed operating company, FS OneEquity. Since 2011, FS Investments has been the firm’s brand for all investor communications, including account statements.
 
FS Investments currently expects to launch two additional strategies and a liquid alternatives platform in 2017.
 
“We were at the forefront of designing income-generating, private credit alternatives to help investors build better, more diversified portfolios,” says Michael C Forman (pictured), chairman and chief executive officer of FS Investments. “Now we are working to offer more strategies, including private equity solutions, so that investors can diversify across the alternatives spectrum. The brand consolidation positions us to enter this new phase of expansion."
 
Founded as Franklin Square Capital Partners in 2007, the firm has grown assets under management to over USD18 billion as of 30 June 2016.
