SENIOR DIRECT
LENDING FUND
PDP’s Senior Direct Lending Fund was established to provide investors with a diversified portfolio of high-quality, Canadian mid-market companies that have a track record of sustainable cash flows. The Fund will be diversified by both industry and geography, and the loans will be structured as senior secured on all assets of the borrower with carve outs for working capital facilities and equipment financing. Rates will be fixed over longer terms of up to ten years with amortization schedules that meet the borrower’s use of capital and historic seasonality of cash flows. The fund is well positioned to support the growing needs of Canadian borrowers seeking $10 to $50 million of senior secured term debt.
SENIOR OPPORTUNITIES
FUND
PDP’s Senior Opportunities Fund was created to meet the needs of Canadian mid-market companies in a market that has been historically underserved by traditional lenders. Companies that do not meet the rigid underwriting requirements of these lenders but show evidence of continued growth and sustainable cash flows, will be offered options much more economically viable than current high yield and mezzanine lenders. PDP is hoping to fill the gap in the market, providing loans in the 7% to 12% range. Our goal is to support high-quality borrowers seeking $5 to $30 million of senior secured term debt financing that will support their growth leading to future stability.
