How careful lending may save the SME sector

Great article from John Bakie on ‘How careful lending may save the SME sector.’ We’re proud to feature in this month’s edition of the Private Debt Investor, where our Co-Founder Xavier De Pauw discussed how the lack of data transparency is holding back SME funding.

Key talking points:

‘The biggest issue is data, and it can make it difficult to fund smaller firms because you often don’t have the right data to make an underwriting decision.

Being able to properly collect, store, and monitor data on portfolios is really key to making the SME lending process more efficient.’

‘More and more, investors need data on what is happening in their portfolios, and their managers need to provide this. If they can gain more control over their risk, then they’re more likely to commit more capital to the asset class in the future.’
