Seven New Sources of Deal Finance
And Amalgamated Capital makes seven. I've written so many stories about new lending groups formed to serve the "void" of financing in the middle market, that it's time to make a list. So I give you, the recent crop of new middle market lenders (please email with any I may have overlooked). The groups are in various stages of development-some have raised funds, others are seeking to secure credit, and even one is in registration to go public. While they're getting their ducks in a row, someone (anyone) find them some deals to finance! 1. Sankaty Middle Market Opportunities Fund will invest in middle-market mezzanine loans with some senior debt and equity. More specifically, it would target credit for new buyouts, rescue financings and secondary purchases of mezzanine debt. See related story.
