Mitsubishi HC Capital America Strengthens Private Credit Direct Lending Capabilities with Addition of Ricardo Nunes

Norwalk, CT, March 19, 2025 – Mitsubishi HC Capital America, the largest non-bank, non-captive finance provider in North America with $7.5 billion in owned and managed assets, is strengthening its position in the rapidly growing private credit market with the strategic addition of Ricardo Nunes.

As private credit continues to gain traction as a vital source of capital for middle-market businesses, Mitsubishi HC Capital America remains committed to expanding its direct lending platform to meet increasing demand. The addition of Nunes aligns with the company’s broader strategy to enhance its presence in private credit, offering flexible, tailored financing solutions for companies navigating growth, acquisitions, and recapitalizations across key sectors - business services, commercial and industrial, manufacturing, distribution, energy transition, communications services and infrastructure, media and information services, and healthcare.

“Our expansion in private credit reflects our commitment to delivering tailored financing solutions that address the evolving needs of middle-market businesses and private equity sponsors,” said Chris Pagano, Senior Vice President, Structured Finance & Leasing. “Building a team of experienced professionals like Ricardo reinforces our ability to structure and execute complex credit solutions, further positioning us as a trusted capital provider.”

“I’m excited to join Mitsubishi HC Capital America at a time when private credit is playing an increasingly critical role in the financing ecosystem,” said Nunes. “With the company’s commitment to innovation and strong capital base, I look forward to leveraging my experience and relationships with private equity sponsors to drive continued growth and expand our lending capabilities.”

Nunes joins Mitsubishi HC Capital America from Bank of Ireland’s Leveraged Finance Group, where he led origination and underwriting efforts, working closely with top private equity firms. His extensive background also includes leadership roles at Fortress Credit Corporation and GE Commercial Financial Services, where he managed multifaceted credit structures and portfolio strategies.
