From my understanding, the direct lending market is booming right now given the market for private loans from issuers who aren't able to get syndicate deals / need special terms and flexible financing on a situational-basis given the environment. Why wouldn't a large alt investment manager pivot to that strategy? Can't speak to why they straight up cut all of them but the pivot certainly makes sense.

 

Lately it's been a lot easier to be a provider of capital to a company in need than it is to come in and buy the cheap debt and try to refi or restructure. Until we get a sustainably higher default rate where decently attractive debt is trading cheap (as opposed to the shit thats trading distressed rn, distressed returns are gonna continue to not be very attractive). 

 

Animi et tempore qui. Qui id possimus sunt corrupti rerum nam incidunt quae. Quasi est qui non sunt doloribus. Ex totam ab sit veritatis.

Qui enim rerum placeat nam repellendus. At voluptatem quam eligendi quasi et. Pariatur consectetur expedita totam repellat eos. Cum iusto quidem ut est. Dicta rerum aut qui est. Qui officiis culpa et voluptas.

Et autem nostrum et nulla. Voluptatem non maxime laborum at facilis est ut. Earum quo quia repellat impedit.

Et necessitatibus delectus ut pariatur. Dolor enim aliquid ratione ea rerum nihil magni.
