The problem

Private credit has no tape — the filings are the tape

Most direct-lending borrowers are private middle-market companies with no press, no rating and no quote. The loan terms and the marks are public — in BDC schedules of investments, fund holdings and 8-Ks — but nobody reads them together. The record is filed. It is just scattered.

What you get instead

  • The loanlender, seniority, spread, PIK, maturity
  • Every lender's markfair value to cost, quarter by quarter
  • The maturity wallwho holds the bonds, and when they come due
  • Distressbankruptcy, non-accrual, heavy insider selling

Why teams switch

One lender had already marked it down. The other two hadn't filed yet. That gap is the whole trade.
