Scrutinising the 'V' in NAV Financing

The latest research from The Drawdown shows that a growing number of GPs are considering NAV facilities for the first time. In response, more lenders are offering the product, with greater flexibility and optionality.

In the PE buyout space, transaction volumes remain limited, largely due to how bespoke each transaction needs to be for specific borrowers and specific funds. In this context, a greater understanding of the mechanics of NAV financing is helpful for GPs to determine the suitability of its use.

This breakfast briefing, brought to you by The Drawdown in partnership with OakNorth Bank, will examine the portfolio valuation processes used by lenders of NAV facilities and how they interact with a GP’s own processes, particularly as the use of AI becomes more embedded.
