RM Secured Direct Lending (RMDL) offers investors an ongoing ca.6.5% dividend yield, whose sustainability is supported by multi-year assets, a rising revenue yield and economies of scale. Credit, we believe, is well controlled, and we provide readers with a detailed review of its assessment, monitoring and recovery. We believe the gearing level is appropriate, the investment manager's interests are aligned to shareholders, and that any discount will be actively managed. Like any lender, there are risks when the cycle turns; also, RMDL has some junior debt positions, and its book has shown a propensity to turn over, which in the future could see more external refinancing. The shares trade at a 3% premium to NAV. Please click here for the full report:
