NAV Financing

THE MECHANISM

How it works

A lender advances cash to a fund or vehicle against diversified underlying investments, with loan-to-value tests and eligibility restrictions.

MEASURABLE EFFECT

THE EVIDENCE

What to measure

Compare fund NAV, portfolio valuation dates, distribution coverage, asset concentration, LTV covenants and maturity ladders.

THE STRESS CHANNEL

When the mechanism matters

Falling private valuations can tighten borrowing capacity just when portfolio companies need follow-on capital.

Interpretation trap

NAV loans are not identical to subscription lines, which are generally backed by investor commitments.

RESEARCH METHOD

How to verify the claim

Begin with the underlying balance-sheet, contract or market-series evidence rather than a secondary headline. Check the definition of each exposure, its reporting date, and the institution or jurisdiction to which it applies. For nav financing, a useful starting route is: ILPA guidance, fund reports and lender disclosures.
