Lending Perspective: Year in Review & 2022 Middle Market Outlook

This episode is brought to you by Twin Brook Capital Partners, a direct lending finance company focused on providing cash-flow based financing solutions for the middle market private equity community.

Pete Notter, a partner at Twin Brook Capital Partners, joins the Middle Market Growth Conversations podcast to discuss middle market deal activity in 2021 and how businesses and industries have fared throughout the year.

In the interview, Notter describes the state of the market today and shares his perspective on how elevated levels of M&A activity are affecting deal processes and timelines.

He also points to observed trends in private equity sponsor behavior. Notably, as investment bank auction processes have become more exclusive, sponsors are getting more engaged earlier on and financing partners are often being brought in at a later stage than they have in the past. Notter talks about how Twin Brook has been able to accommodate those tighter timelines and the role that strong pre-existing relationships with clients play in today’s active deal environment.

The episode closes with a discussion about Notter’s outlook for the middle market and M&A activity in the year ahead.
