Direct Lending Offers Higher Spreads but Less Liquidity, Covenant Venture Capital Says
  • Covenant Venture Capital’s private credit analysis highlights higher direct-loan spreads as compensation for illiquidity, borrower risk and tailored financing.
  • Direct lending can offer faster execution and greater control over loan terms, but investment quality depends heavily on manager underwriting.
  • Syndicated loans offer greater financing scale and secondary-market tradability, though weaker investor demand can alter pricing or facility size.
  • Investors should weigh credit quality, portfolio concentration and liquidity needs rather than select strategies on headline yield alone.
