Today, there are really no banks that we're seeing either thinking about entering the market, let alone pulling back from direct lending. The economics of middle-market lending are not particularly compelling for banks,. They'd rather underwrite a deal, distribute it to investors, hold zero of the loan. And generate a much higher return on equity. Still the golden age of private credit. Very much so.
