1 insider bought €212k of shares over the last 90 days, the latest by GROSS MICHAEL S, filed 11 Sept 2026.
SLR Investment Corp., classified in the Finance & Banking sector, is a listed company. Its insiders report their share dealings to SEC (Form 4). Over the twelve months to 21 October 2026, 6 filings were filed, from 3 insiders.
The flow runs one way only: 1 insider bought (3 purchases totalling €1.5M) and nobody sold on the market. Buying on the open market means paying the going price with one's own funds, a different act from receiving shares as pay. Biggest ticket of the year: €1.1M, bought by Gross Michael S and made public on 5 March 2026.
With 6 filings in twelve months, the company is quieter than the median of 19 filings across the 5,814 companies we follow on the same exchange. The full history, which starts in 2022, counts 15 purchases against 2 sales. In its latest annual report filed with the SEC (10-K, fiscal year ended 31 December 2025), the company reported net income of 92.5 m USD.
In all, 1 purchase was made within 30 days of a purchase by another insider of the company. A cluster is several different insiders buying the same stock within a short window, a pattern studied more closely than a single purchase. The latest purchase dates back some time: it was published 40 days ago, on 11 September 2026. The median gap between a trade and its publication by SEC (Form 4) is 3 days. The legal deadline for a Form 4 is two business days after the transaction.
In the same sector, recent insider purchases at First Guaranty Bancshares, Inc. and BCB Bancorp Inc also feature in our signals. Every figure here comes from the filings published by SEC (Form 4) and describes the past, not future prices; it is not investment advice.

SLR Investment Corp. (NASDAQ: SLRC) is a U.S.-listed Business Development Company (BDC) focused on private credit and income generation. For French-, Belgian- and Swiss-based investors, it should be viewed less as a traditional bank and more as a specialist lender to U.S. middle-market companies. The company is organized under Maryland law, was formed in November 2007, and became a listed BDC in the first quarter of 2010. Its operating headquarters are in New York, United States, and the platform is externally managed by SLR Capital Partners, an SEC-registered investment adviser. SLR emphasizes proprietary origination, customized financing solutions, and a credit underwriting approach influenced by private-equity style diligence.
At its core, SLRC invests directly and indirectly in senior secured loans to privately owned middle-market businesses. It also operates through commercial finance affiliates, giving it exposure to multiple specialized lending strategies, including cash-flow lending, asset-based lending, equipment finance, life science lending, and lender finance. This multi-asset-class structure is central to the company’s risk management and return profile: it helps diversify revenue sources, spread exposure across collateral types, and reduce reliance on any single cyclical segment. The company highlights a concentration in non-cyclical industries such as healthcare, business services, and financial services, where its investment teams claim deep sector expertise.
From a competitive standpoint, SLRC sits in a crowded U.S. private credit and BDC universe where sourcing quality, underwriting discipline, and portfolio diversification are key differentiators. The firm presents itself as yield-oriented and capital-preservation focused, with a publicly traded structure designed to pass through income to shareholders. It pays regular distributions and is positioned for investors seeking current income through listed credit exposure. The company also notes that it is investment grade rated by Moody’s and Fitch, underscoring a market-recognized profile in the BDC space.
SLR Capital Partners was co-founded by Michael Gross and Bruce Spohler in 2006, and the broader platform has grown into a nationwide commercial finance organization with a substantial employee base and offices across the United States. A notable corporate milestone was the April 1, 2022 acquisition of affiliate SLR Senior Investment Corp., after which the combined company continued to trade under the SLRC ticker on the NASDAQ. That transaction broadened scale and simplified the listed platform.
Recent company disclosures point to continued portfolio resilience and a gradual shift toward more asset-based lending investments supported by high-quality current assets. In 2025, management also highlighted stable net investment income and net asset value per share in the fourth quarter, which suggests operating stability in a volatile credit environment. Overall, SLRC offers equity investors a listed way to access U.S. private credit, with an emphasis on senior secured lending, portfolio diversification, and income-oriented returns.
