It just means the loan accrues and is not paid monthly. So if you have a $1M loan at 5% PIK, the interest will accrue and at the end of the year, it is $1.05M. You pay it back when the loan is due. The principal accrues overtime. 
 

On a “paid current” loan, you would pay $50K each year in interest and the loan balance at the end of the year will still be $1M. 

 

Gotcha that makes sense. So it would hurt lender IRR.I'd assume it's typically priced at a higher rate than a conventional fixed/floating loan? Is it most frequently (or exclusively) used for non-cash flowing assets to give the borrower near-term flexibility?Thanks again!

Also, are there situations where a part of the loan could be paid current with a few points of pik? How would that work?

 

Plug it into excel - IRR is the same due to compounding (IO). However, profit is actually higher on a PIK loan than a paid current loan. 
 

It should be priced at a higher rate - but totally market and deal dependent. Can’t really answer things in absolutes because it depends on deal structure. And yes - I would suspect used on non cash flowing assets but again, never say never.
