Liquidity In All Shapes And Forms



The Deloitte Alternative Lender Deal Tracker now covers 58 leading Alternative Lenders, with whom we track primary mid-market deals across Europe.

The sixteenth issue covers data for the second quarter of 2017 that closed with 70 deals completing, representing a 5% increase in deal flow on a last 12 months basis in comparison with the previous year.

Key highlights

  • The number of deals covered has increased to 1082 transactions over the past 19 quarters.
  • Of 70 deals we observed in Q2 2017, over 65% were completed outside of the UK, representing a significant increase when compared to the previous quarter.
  • Within the UK the Business, Infrastructure & Professional Services (BIPS) industry has been the dominant user of Alternative Lending with 24% followed by Technology, Media and Telecomms (TMT) with 19%.
  • Where traditionally debt and equity have been mutually exclusive, lines are beginning to blur as we see an increase in hybrid fund raising strategies, where the product straddles both debt and equity.
