6 Reasons to Consider Canadian Senior Debt Fund
1. Private Debt Middle Market Opportunity
There are 1 million small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) in Canada, contributing over 50% of Canada’s GDP.
Due to post-2008 capital requirements and regulatory changes, SMEs are under-served by the banks.
In particular, there are 800 companies in Canada engaged in Security and Defence manufacturing that have limited access to financing, yet Canada is committed to spend in excess of $40B over the next 15 years to its military.
