Diversifying direct lending portfolios through sponsor-less lending
The landscape for direct lending is crowded. Increased competition and limited buy-out activity have put lenders under more pressure to deploy. In navigating the challenges of a maturing asset class, investors may consider sponsor-less lending in the lower mid-market as a means of diversifying a portfolio and enhancing the potential for return.
For professional investors only. Capital at risk.
