The purpose of this article is to unpack the basic building blocks of what constitutes a NAV Loan to make sure that market participants have a basic understanding of what is in a NAV Loan and their key negotiated issues. As noted in prior articles, and as discussed in various panels at Fund Finance industry events, what constitutes a NAV financing transaction often means different things to different people. A fairly broad description that we have used previously is that a NAV financing transaction is primarily a loan to a private equity ("PE") fund where the value of the investment assets of the PE fund provide support for the borrower’s loan obligations. While even this broad description doesn’t capture everything that bankers and lawyers in the industry think of when they hear NAV Loan, it’s sufficiently broad for purposes of this article.
