The Advantages of Disciplined Lower Middle Market Direct Lending

BizNexus Episode 16

This article from InsuranceAUM.com, authored by TPG, argues that Lower Middle Market (LMM) direct lending offers superior risk-adjusted returns and diversification compared to Upper Middle Market (UMM) lending. The authors contend that less competition, higher spreads, and stronger lender protections characterize the LMM.

They further assert that the LMM presents a larger opportunity set focused on private equity-backed firms, while dismissing arguments suggesting higher risk in the LMM due to flaws in typical risk assessments. Ultimately, TPG advocates for increased investment in LMM direct lending.
