RADNOR, PA — Lincoln Financial Group (NYSE: LNC) has formally launched the Lincoln Bain Capital Total Credit Fund, an evergreen private market fund designed to expand access to opportunities traditionally reserved for institutional and high-net-worth investors.
Developed in partnership with Bain Capital, the fund will offer a diversified portfolio of private credit investments, including loans to mid-sized companies, asset-based finance, structured credit, and opportunistic strategies. The initiative reflects a growing trend of “democratizing” private market access for individual investors.
“For 120 years, our mission has been providing financial protection and security for our customers and their families, and we see a tremendous opportunity to extend that commitment by helping democratize access to private market investments,” said Ellen Cooper, chairman, president, and CEO of Lincoln Financial. “By partnering with Bain Capital to advance innovative solutions, we’re combining their more than 25 years of credit investment expertise with our world-class distribution platform and funds management experience.”
Bain Capital brings deep experience across global debt markets, applying a rigorous asset allocation framework and sector-specific expertise. Lincoln Financial, through its broad distribution network, will make the fund available to financial professionals and their clients nationwide.
“Partnering with Lincoln is a significant milestone for our global credit platform, enabling us to leverage the dynamic and diversified approach of our multi-asset credit strategies with Lincoln’s extensive network of individual investors and intermediaries,” said John Wright, partner and global head of credit at Bain Capital. “Together, we look forward to providing a broader set of investors with differentiated access to innovative private and asset-backed credit solutions.”
The launch underscores a broader industry push to open private market investing to retail investors, positioning the new fund as a gateway to asset classes with historically limited accessibility.
