Strategic Value Partners’ Post

In a recent episode of The Lending Lowdown, Brian Himot, Head of Structured Capital at Strategic Value Partners, joined CJ (Colm J) Doherty of LSEG Data & Analytics to discuss SVP’s structured capital business. Here are some key takeaways from the conversation:   ◾ Strategic Focus: SVP operates in the space between traditional direct lending and private equity, offering tailored solutions across cycles. Flexibility and complexity are at the heart of our approach. ◾ Deal Structures: From stretch senior unitranche to preferred equity, SVP crafts financing structures that adapt to the particular needs of businesses and their owners. ◾ Market Trends: While we have seen competition increase, especially in the U.S., Europe’s smaller, more inefficient market continues to present opportunities, especially for founder- and family-owned businesses. ◾ Sector Focus: SVP leverages deep expertise across corporate sectors, including industrials, packaging, building materials, healthcare and consumer, as well as hard assets (real estate, infrastructure, aviation and power). ◾ Outlook for 2025: Despite encouraging macro conditions, we believe underlying market stress will create ongoing opportunities for creative, solution-oriented financing—particularly with non-sponsored partners.
