Sponsors this provider has financedWhat these counts meanCounts are the financings DFX has read in announcements. Most come from lenders' own deal archives, which list a lender's repeat deals with a sponsor but not the sponsor's deals with other lenders, so a repeat relationship shows where one lender publishes and is not a rate at which sponsors return to a lender. Counts undercount and record past financing; DFX does not predict who will finance a deal.
No financing of an independent sponsor by this provider has been observed in an announcement yet.
