Insights
In our year-end wrap up, Configure prognosticated that another bankruptcy in 2023 would top FTX as the most impactful collapse. Only 69 days into the year, the FDIC placed Silicon Valley Bank into receivership in what was (then) the second largest bank failure in U.S. history. To this point contagion has been prevented, but the impact is being felt.
Configure polled a broad swath of lenders focused on middle market, sponsor-backed deals regarding financing conditions and their institution’s views on 2023. Lenders reflected on capital deployment and shifting economics as well as shared insights on approval process and watchlist credits.
