Overview
Marble Point Loan Financing : MPLF aims to generate stable current income and to grow NAV by earning a return on equity in excess of the amount distributed as dividends. It does this primarily through exposure to a diversified portfolio of loans. The company obtains exposure to loans primarily through its investment in its subsidiary which invests in loans directly and indirectly through investments in CLO equity and debt securities issued by Marble Point CLOs and Marble Point Loan Acquisition Facilities. It believes that Marble Point Loan Financing Limited is the first LSE listed company predominantly focused on US senior secured loans and CLOs that are not managed by third-party CLO collateral managers.
