years. This trend is continuing as investors search for higher yields than the traditional fixed income products have produced, private equity investors spin up direct lending teams, allocators increase their allotment to private debt given the attractive risk-return profile and the global market volatility brought on by Covid-19 endures. Many practitioners in the industry aim to improve ROI by streamlining workflows and enhance performance by organising and digitising data. In turn, credit managers and direct lenders benefit from more modern reporting processes and workflows that support active and informed decisions around pipeline and portfolio management, compliance and risk.
Technology is becoming more important Growth and competition within the private debt segment is a huge driver for technology. In 2020, we’ve seen that fund managers are looking for cost-effective technology solutions that can help them to alleviate the administrative burden associated with increasing deal volume and structural complexity. Essentially, they want to spend more of their time focused on alpha generation and beta management. In order to do that, they need technology that their teams can leverage to effectively organise their data and processes, safely and securely share

information and facilitate more expedient reporting and communication for informed investment decisions. In fact, digitising and managing data in an
organised fashion, to create more efficient portfolio monitoring and to simplify reporting processes, is a significant benefit to our clients. Data transparency from the borrower to the lender and from the lender to their limited partners is crucial in today’s environment. Investors are asking more questions, more frequently, and about a broader range of topics including valuations, diversity, environmental, social and governance (ESG) and technology. These diligence queries lack standardisation and include comprehensive questions in varying formats. By simplifying investor reporting, teams have less disruption to their day-to-day routines and investors benefit through the speed and efficacy our solution brings. Innovation will accelerate. So will the adoption of technology. Over the last decade, the European non- performing loans (NPLs) and non-performing exposure (NPE) industry has matured, with loan sales and securitisations becoming the modus operandi for banks. Meanwhile, a growing number of investors entered the NPL market. But just as the market began to gain momentum and see steady growth, it was hit by Covid-19.
