Exhibit 6: Opportunistic Lending
ОглавлениеCurrently there is a market opportunity in the financing gap for borrowers seeking funding at a cost of capital of 10 to 15%. An increasing number of private debt funds are raising capital to provide a solution for these borrowers. The COVID-19 pandemic has created a favourable environment for opportunistic lenders as many borrowers are expected to go through challenging times. For managers with sufficient dry powder, short-term market volatility may also present interesting opportunities.
The sub-strategies include:
direct lending into complex situations such as growth capital, refinancing of overleveraged balance sheets, time-sensitive events, shareholder restructuring, challenging sectors and hung syndications inter alia;
acquiring loans at a discount to par sourced both privately and on public markets (secondary purchase).
