Financing for Business Development Companies - May 19, 2015

 Alternative Financing for BDCs and Closed-end Funds

Sponsored by Dechert and GSO Capital Partners/Blackstone Group

New and extensive regulation of the banking sector has made alternative financing arrangements more attractive and cost-efficient for business development companies (BDCs) and closed-end funds (CEFs). An increasing number of BDCs and CEFs are turning to synthetic financing through total return swaps (TRS) and prime brokerage (PB) lock-up facilities.

In this webinar, Andrew Jordan, Senior Vice President at GSO Capital Partners/Blackstone Group, and Matthew Kerfoot, Partner at Dechert, will discuss:
  • Negotiating the TRS and PB framework
  • Pricing considerations
  • Limitations of TRS and PB facilities
  • Controlling the underlying loan portfolio
  • Leverage issues under the 1940 Act
  • Safeguarding fund collateral and rehypothecation
