Fund finance has grown significantly in recent years – not only in scale but also in sophistication and diversity. Yet, it remains an often misunderstood and mischaracterised segment of the financial markets. Given its increasing importance to the success of private markets, it is essential to address misconceptions and foster greater transparency around the size, structure, and emerging characteristics of the fund finance market.
To support this goal, 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.
LMA Fund Finance Insights – NAV Financing: Behind the Headlines
The LMA is pleased to have published the third in its series of Fund Finance Insights papers. These are intended to enhance understanding of this important asset class.
This third Insights paper turns to focus on NAV financing, with a focus on NAV financing used by buy-out managers (i.e. PE Nav financing). Whilst PE NAV financing is not a new product, challenging market conditions and various other macro-factors, as well as broader market awareness around the benefits of the use of this type of fund finance product has attracted wider attention.
