Traditional Lenders Exiting Middle Market Space

Traditional lenders continue to shift focus away from the middle-market leveraged loan market

Over the past decade, the share of primary middle market loans issued by banks has fallen significantly

We believe a combination of regulatory and structural changes has led to banks leaving middle market lending, resulting in a significant funding gap

Increasing need for capital

Significant number of middle market loan maturities continue to come due

Note: Middle market defined as issuers with EBITDA of $50 million or less. Data reflects share of non-bank investors in middle market leveraged loans. Views
