LMM mix shift multi-year; leverage targeted
Q&A clarified that shrinking the lower middle market portfolio below 20%—triggering base fee cuts—will take years due to diversification, follow-ons, and private loan growth outpacing exits. Management targets 1.15-1.25 debt-to-equity leverage, actively pursuing added liquidity after regulatory expansion. Private loan spreads stabilized at 5-5.5%, expected flattish in 2026. Interest income drop stemmed from back-loaded originations and SOFR declines. Portfolio companies show steady performance; limited software exposure insulates from AI risks. Realization proceeds eyed for buybacks, dividends, or reinvestment. LMM runoff takes years. Outlook confident; watch debt execution and mix shift.
