Does anyone possibly have an example of debt originations case study they’ve taken or seen before? Generally comfortable with the excel modeling, just want to see what an ask might be with respect to loan sizing, risks, thoughts, and considerations along with capital stack position.

Based on the most helpful WSO content, it seems like a debt originations case study would involve a few key components:
Loan Sizing: You'd likely need to determine the appropriate size of the loan based on the borrower's financials, the nature of the project or business, and the risk profile. This could involve analyzing the borrower's cash flows, assets, and liabilities, as well as the potential returns from the project or business.
Risks: You'd need to identify and assess the potential risks associated with the loan. This could include credit risk (the risk that the borrower will default), market risk (the risk that changes in the market will affect the value of the loan), and operational risk (the risk of loss due to failures in processes, systems, or people).
Thoughts and Considerations: You'd need to consider various factors when making your decision, such as the borrower's credit history, the economic outlook, and the potential impact of regulatory changes. You might also need to consider the ethical implications of the loan.
Capital Stack Position: You'd need to determine where the loan fits within the capital stack. This could involve assessing the seniority of the loan, the presence of any subordinated debt, and the equity cushion.
Remember, every case study is unique, so the specifics could vary. But these are some general areas you might want to focus on. Good luck with your preparation!

WSO Bot with a legit answer here lol. Can anyone who actually has done a case study for a debt fund before reply though
I've done a debt case study. It was an existing construction loan and the borrower was requesting additional proceeds, in real life both had already happened.
They gave me requisitions (hard and soft costs spent to date with amount remaining a few tabs which I had to piece together, I had never seen before), a stacking plan of tenants, and questions on risk/mitigants / proforma output and my thoughts on the metrics (I targeted DY, DSCR, LTC/LTV & where they were compared to what I thought a typical DY/DSCR were).
I built out an annual proforma using the stacking plan, where I thought rents would be, terms for the refi of senior loan and new proceeds at what I thought rates would be and looked at again IRR, EM but targeting DY, DSCR, LTC/LTV and my recommendation.
Let me know if you have any additional questions.
What fund is this? You’re already anonymous
