Based on the WSO Dataset, a gross IRR of 14-15% and a net IRR of 12% for a credit secondaries fund that uses no leverage can be considered decent. Typically, the use of leverage can amplify returns, so achieving these levels without leverage indicates a solid performance. It's important to compare these figures with the specific benchmarks and expectations for the credit secondaries market, which often looks for higher returns when leverage is employed. However, a fund operating without leverage and still delivering a 12% net IRR is managing risk well while providing a reasonable return.

Were they buying high quality direct lending funds or were they buying steeply discounted opportunistic funds?
Direct lending LP secondaries or doing low LTV NAV loans
I don't have actual experience in the space, but seems pretty decent. Assuming they have a senior position where they aren't the first impaired in the fund meaning between equity cushion at the borrowco and "equity cushion" at the fund they should be in a pretty safe position meaning that yield sounds attractive. But not sure if that's the structure
