NAV Financing

Unlocking Value Creation with NAV Financing

Pemberton’s NAV Financing strategy provides financing against the underlying value of private equity funds’ performing investment portfolios, primarily in the form of senior secured loans. Our solutions allow the private equity ecosystem to unlock value created in funds post their investment period, which can be used to maximise their return targets.

NAV Financing Strategy

$2bn Target Vintage Size

The Strategy Focuses On:

  • Providing capital to European buyout funds, general partners and limited partners

Key Use Cases Include:

    • additional platform investments
    • bolt-on acquisitions to existing platforms
    • supporting underperforming portfolio companies to optimise their capital structures

Our strategy addresses the needs of a large and growing market expected to exceed US$700bn by 2030, which is underserved by banks and a small number of niche providers1.

Pemberton is well placed to address this need, given our sole focus on credit (no competing equity interests), deep private equity sector expertise and extensive private equity relationships. We aim to deepen our position as a core financing partner to the private equity community.

1 Based on Pemberton’s understanding of the NAV Financing competitive landscape.
