⁉️ Why is it so difficult to find GP financing? Over the past 12 months we have received a surge of requests from managers seeking GP financing, particularly from the lower and mid-markets. This is partly being driven by the slowdown in exits, leaving GPs with fewer proceeds to fund their GP commitment. The uptick in demand is exacerbated by a lack of supply. According to data from Alpha Match, of the 324 lender profiles tracked on the platform, only 63 actively provide GP financing, representing just 28% of all lenders. Of those 63 lenders, less than half (40%) provide loans with a minimum ticket of £10m. In this article, Alpha Match’s Adam Heaysman shares why it is increasingly difficult and expensive to obtain GP financing today. He explores the tensions between borrowers and lenders and crucially, how to restore harmony. Having received such high demand for GP financing, we have developed a solution alongside two leading law firms, Fladgate LLP and Osborne Clarke. Alpha’s GP Financing Solution is designed to provide managers with access to these loans quickly and cost effectively. ⬇️ The link to the full article is in the comments ⬇️ #gp #fundfinance #alphamatch #gpfinancing

Thank you Tom Auchterlonie, reporter at Private Funds CFO, for covering insights from our latest Lender Book Report, using heads of terms data from loans Alpha Match has placed and structured over the past 12 months, to shine a light on NAV financing and reveal the truth about 'leverage on leverage'....
NAV loans for private equity funds - debt backed by the vehicles' portfolios - have become more popular among GPs in recent years in response to shocks such as the pandemic and higher interest rates. And their usage has drawn criticism, including with the "leverage on leverage" phrase, which refers to the deployment of portfolio-level loans in addition to portfolio company debt. But a new whitepaper from Alpha Group contends that NAV loans don't pose an undue risk to funds. I spoke with Alice Murray and Adam Heaysman about the report for my piece in Private Funds CFO. https://lnkd.in/e6HmupBG

📢 We're delighted to announce the launch of our new fund finance report revealing the truth about NAV facilities and ‘leverage on leverage’ criticism. Harnessing data from its Alpha Match platform, this is the only report of its kind to aggregate heads of terms data to explore the risks of NAV financing. The findings dispel common assumptions and help to alleviate concerns around GPs taking on too much debt, as well as how cautious lenders are when providing these facilities. #fundfinance #navfinance #nav #leverageonleverage #GP #connectingfundswithfinance #alphamatch #fundfinancematching
