Top of the Ops: NAV faith

Episode notes

In this episode The Drawdown team discusses the chances of defaults for NAV facilities raised against a PE buyout fund.

Following on from our recent cover story Anatomy of default , we speak to Samantha Hutchinson, partner at King & Spalding, about the risk of default for NAV facilities, why these transactions are coming under increased regulatory and press scrutiny and whether the fund finance industry requires greater transparency.
