Liquidity solutions are a topic du jour in fund finance. With bank balance sheets somewhat restricted by macroeconomic concerns and risk-weighted asset regulations, fund finance borrowers and lenders have sought creative ways to put capital to work. One construct that may open up this optionality is the tranche B facility, a subordinated line of credit that sits within the same transaction as a senior revolver or term loan.

As most Fund Finance Friday readers probably already know, over the summer, the Institutional Limited Partners Association issued guidance for Limited Partners and General Partners around the use of Net Asset Value based financing facilities by private equity funds. ILPA issued the Guidance to identify potential issues relevant to LPs regarding the use of NAV facilities, including (i) transparency around their use, (ii) the level of engagement by GPs with LPs to solicit LP feedback and/or consent, and (iii) how the impact of NAV-based facilities is reported. Fund Finance Friday previously summarized the Guidance when it first came out here. However, now that there has been ample time to digest, we wanted to take the opportunity to recap some of the events leading up to the Guidance, to provide insight as to the market’s reaction to it, and to highlight some practical considerations for market participants to consider in implementing its recommendations.

As was briefly touched upon in a prior Fund Finance Friday article “Borrowing Base/Coverage Ratio Approaches in Subscription Finance Facilities,” a subscription facility which uses the borrowing base approach looks at each investor’s commitment to fund and the administrative agent and/or lenders deciding the level of credit that will be given to such commitment for those investors. In certain instances there may be investors that are initially excluded from the Borrowing Base due to certain side letter provisions (i.e., cease funding rights or sovereign immunity), lack of creditworthiness or other legal issues, whereby the lender is concerned about including such investor’s capital commitment in the Borrowing Base and its ability to ultimately be able to call capital on such investor.
