We are very excited to share some updates about Cadwalader’s enhanced and quickly expanding UK Fund Finance team.
The combination of increased regulatory pressure and additional investor demand for higher yield has seen numerous banks gradually displaced by private debt funds in the corporate lending sector (particularly for mid-market and SME borrowers). However, many banks, alongside an increasing pool of alternative lenders (collectively, "ABL Providers"), are comfortable lending to these private credit funds through so-called “credit portfolio finance” or “ABL facilities.”
Whilst there is nothing new about lending to private credit managers, the continued growth of the direct lending market has been accompanied by the increased use of back leverage at fund level through these facilities.
In this article, we look at some of the key issues for ABL Providers under these transactions in the European market.
Cadwalader lawyers and practices once again have been recognized as industry leaders in the 34rd edition of the IFLR1000, a publication focused on financial and corporate transactional work.
