In today’s challenging macroeconomic landscape (sticky inflation, geopolitical environment), European lower-mid market private debt stands out as a compelling opportunity for investors seeking relative value. This segment of the financial market offers a unique blend of risk-reward, making it an attractive option in a time marked by uncertainty. The European lower-mid market private debt sector encompasses a diverse range of investment opportunities. Continental Europe mid-market is particularly attractive, both in terms of number of companies and in terms of deal volume. Positioning in the lower mid-market segment and resilient-sector focus may be key to success for Private Debt managers. Direct lenders with strong relationships, a proven track record of success, and the ability to scale debt financing to support growth’s companies are more likely to succeed in the increasingly competitive market. Additionally, the lower mid-market segment allows for greater control over lending terms and covenants, enhancing risk management. In conclusion, European lower-mid market private debt is a strategic asset class for investors seeking to diversify their portfolios and capitalise on relative value in an uncertain economic climate.
