Clarus Capital announced record investment activity during the third quarter of 2026.

Clarus experienced its strongest quarter of investment activity since inception, driven by continued demand from middle-market and large corporate borrowers seeking equipment financing through loans, capital leases and operating leases to support accelerating growth, the reshoring of manufacturing, modernization and multi-year capital investment in their operations.

Growth was broad based across a diverse range of industries including domestic manufacturing companies and businesses providing critical infrastructure and essential services. The financings supported investments in production equipment, information technology infrastructure, vehicle fleets, aircraft and other assets that increase capacity, improve efficiency and support the ongoing reinvestment in America's industrial and infrastructure base.

“Clarus is financing the productive equipment that powers the U.S. economy,” said Steve O’Leary, Chief Executive Officer of Clarus Capital. “Our record third quarter reflects the strength of our platform, the quality of our team and the significant demand we continue to see from companies making large scale capital investments. We are particularly proud of our growing work with domestic manufacturers and infrastructure-related businesses and the opportunity to support their most important strategic initiatives.”

“Business investment is a critical driver of productivity, competitiveness, and long-term economic growth,” added Tim Conway, Chairman of Clarus Capital. “The activity we experienced this quarter demonstrates that companies across the United States continue to invest in their operations and position themselves for the future. We are pleased to support our clients and their private equity sponsors in making the essential capital investments that drive growth.”
