The initial phase includes transactions worth up to $600 million in the first three months, followed by quarterly purchases.

This renewal builds upon their existing partnership, which has already executed $2.4 billion worth of transactions through the SLCLC program. The program, launched in April 2023, has facilitated nearly $6 billion in loan sales and provides a streamlined investment process without requiring external financing for loan buyers.

LendingClub (NYSE: LC) ha rinnovato il suo accordo di flusso continuo con i fondi gestiti da Blue Owl Capital per transazioni di Structured Loan Certificate (SLCLC) fino a 3,4 miliardi di dollari nell'arco di due anni.

Questo rinnovo si basa sulla partnership già esistente, che ha già realizzato transazioni per un valore di 2,4 miliardi di dollari tramite il programma SLCLC. Il programma, lanciato nell'aprile 2023, ha facilitato quasi 6 miliardi di dollari in vendite di prestiti e offre un processo di investimento semplificato senza la necessità di finanziamenti esterni per gli acquirenti di prestiti.
