The 2025 DealCatalyst Private Credit Direct Lending Conference in Nashville was a powerful reminder of how fast the private credit space is evolving—and how critical the right servicing partner can be in supporting that evolution.
As a leader in backup servicing, primary loan servicing, and capital markets support, Servicing Solutions was on the ground connecting with fund managers, originators, credit platforms, and institutional investors. Here are a few takeaways we brought back to Main Street (and Wall Street):
1. Backup Servicing Is a Must-Have
With the growth of direct lending and non-bank credit platforms, investors and warehouse providers are placing more scrutiny on operational safeguards. Backup servicing has shifted from a formality to a fundamental, with capital partners expecting proven, ready-to-step-in solutions. Our ability to support diverse asset classes and respond quickly to transition events drew significant interest from both lenders and credit funds.
2. Private Credit Needs Purpose-Built Servicing
From NAV facilities and asset-based lending to structured MCA and fintech-driven originations, no two portfolios look the same. We had meaningful discussions with groups seeking servicing models that align with bespoke underwriting strategies, complex waterfall structures, and multi-entity reporting. Our customized onboarding and flexible infrastructure stood out as essential for scalable, compliant growth.
3. Data, Transparency & Reporting Drive Trust
Investors want more than performance—they want real-time visibility, auditable processes, and proactive communication. With increasing regulatory oversight and demand for operational transparency, servicers who can deliver clean, consistent reporting across platforms and counterparties are becoming mission-critical.
4. Relationships Still Power the Industry
The conference underscored that even in a data-driven environment, relationships and execution still matter most. The value of a responsive, engaged servicing partner—one who understands the nuances of private credit—came up time and again.
