CHICAGO, Nov. 6, 2017 /PRNewswire/ -- NXT Capital, LLC (www.nxtcapital.com) today announced the final closing on approximately $415 million in equity capital, above its original $350 million target, for NXT Capital Senior Loan Fund V, LP ("Fund V"). When coupled with targeted leverage, Fund V will have approximately $1.2 billion of available capital to invest.
