    Portfolio companies face high risks from inflation, rising interest rates, and economic recessions that threaten loan repayment. High leverage across our middle-market portfolio and reliance on external advisers dominate these risk factors. We rely heavily on debt financing and securitizations like the 2015-1R Refinancing, introducing structural subordination risks.
