The LMA is pleased to have published the fourth in its series of Fund Finance Insights papers. These are intended to enhance understanding of this growing asset class.

This latest Fund Finance Insights paper explores the evolving perspectives on the use of fund finance. The ability for a fund to incur financial indebtedness is often a key point of negotiation between fund managers and their investors during the fund formation process. It is important to understand the key drivers and concerns of different market players in order to maximise efficiencies and pave the way for optimal liquidity solutions.

Earlier this year we launched the Fund Finance Intelligence Survey, in collaboration with The Drawdown, to promote greater efficiency, liquidity, transparency, and sustainability within the market. The results are now in, and the anonymous, aggregated responses from borrowers, lenders and advisers have culminated in a valuable dataset that offers meaningful insights into market dynamics, growth trends and key challenges.

There has been much talk about the growing role of NAV financing in fund finance. Whilst this is not a new product, it has been receiving increasing attention. In this LMA Talks Loan Markets podcast, we talked to ILPA, 17 Capital, BlueRock Advisory, Crestline Investors and King & Spalding to unpack the future of NAV financing.
