NMEF was able to execute on these transactions with speed, structural creativity, and offering certainty of close, reinforcing its position as a flexible and reliable capital partner”

“Syndication activity was a significant contributor to 2025 results, with approximately $566 million syndicated across multiple initiatives.” added Mark Bonanno, President and Chief Revenue Officer “Our syndication strategy is designed to deliver consistent execution and alignment for our partners. By combining origination expertise with thoughtful risk distribution, we’re able to support larger transactions, move with speed and certainty, and create durable value across the capital structure.”

According to Tom Lyle, Chief Operating Officer, “Operationally, 2025 was defined by execution. We integrated acquisitions, optimized portfolios, and scaled infrastructure in line with a clear operating plan. The consistency of that execution underpinned both the doubling of assets under management and a record year for NMEF.”

Looking ahead, NMEF stated it will remain focused on disciplined growth, portfolio quality, and continued investment in scalable platforms to support long-term expansion.
