Investing in Loans: Time to End the Paper Chase

At a time when equity markets are volatile and interest rates are climbing, investors are turning to syndicated bank loans for predictable and potentially high yields. With a total market of around $1.4 trillion in 2022, these are typically very large loans, sometimes in the billions.
