Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

Inside middle-market direct lending with PGIM's Matthew Harvey
Q: What role do banks play in comparison to direct lenders in mid-market capital structures?
Banks remain essential for short-term working capital and related services, but direct lenders offer longer-horizon, capital-intensive solutions, cross-border financing, and flexibility that banks cannot easily provide, making the relationship complementary rather than adversarial.
Inside middle-market direct lending with PGIM's Matthew Harvey
Q: How do you balance sponsor-backed vs non-sponsor origination?
By recognizing market segmentation and maturity, PGIM aims to finance both sponsor-backed and non-sponsored companies, expanding the addressable market and emphasizing a diversified portfolio strategy with careful term protections and selective underwriting.
Inside middle-market direct lending with PGIM's Matthew Harvey
Q: What's driving the boost in activity toward the end of last year?
Improved rate visibility from central banks, including rate cuts and a more forward-looking curve, reduced financing costs and unlocked new event-driven transactions.
Inside middle-market direct lending with PGIM's Matthew Harvey
Q: How has the market evolved since you started leading the platform?
The market expanded beyond the mid-market to include upper segments, driven by a post-GFC origin of direct lending and later amplified by the COVID period's liquidity and policy environment, with growth in non-sponsored and cross-border opportunities.
An ad hoc discussion of ad hoc lender groups
Q: How important is consensus in moving through Chapter 11?
Consensus among creditors is crucial; it guides the pace and outcome of the restructuring, including who becomes the plan sponsor and how value is allocated.
