Overview

Middle market loans are a critical financing source for mid-sized companies but remain one of the least transparent areas of leveraged credit. Trading is sparse, data is fragmented, and levels are often only available through dealer messages or private negotiations. For lenders, portfolio managers, and analysts, this opacity makes it difficult to benchmark pricing, assess risk, and evaluate opportunities.

SOLVE brings clarity By parsing dealer messages and aggregating loan data across desks, SOLVE delivers the most comprehensive dataset of middle market loan quotes — enabling market participants to monitor activity, validate pricing, and compare exposures with confidence.
