Navigating today's credit landscape
Higher-rate environment
In a sustained higher-rate regime, active credit selection and covenant quality become the primary drivers of risk-adjusted returns. Floating-rate exposures require careful stress-testing.
Liquidity as a buffer
Balance sheet strength and access to committed capital define financial resilience. Our approach emphasizes diversified funding sources and scenario-based planning.
ESG & credit risk
Integrating material ESG factors into credit assessments provides a forward-looking view of obligor stability, regulatory exposure, and long-term value preservation.
Current market observation: Spreads in direct lending remain attractive relative to historical averages, but underwriting selectivity has never been more critical. Focus on asset coverage and maintenance covenants.
