On the following pages we break out key dimensions of growth in our industry within product segments and peer groups by company for the first time. The intrepid participants in this inaugural issue are further profiled by relevant statistics, such as growth trends, industry and product focus and deal characteristics.

It is our expectation that as more member companies join in sharing this beneficial information in the interest of providing a more robust and transparent view of our market environment, the secured finance industry will continue to grow in its impact and influence.

Welcome to The Secured Lender’s first ever Industry Data Issue. Over the past several years, SFNet has invested heavily in data resources designed to improve planning, provide competitive benchmarking, and attract capital to our industry. Through resources like our groundbreaking Market Sizing and Impact Study, which dimensioned the secured finance ecosystem and will be refreshed this year, to our quarterly and annual data surveys, which continue to grow in participation, to our forward looking Market Pulse Reports, we have made great strides in capturing, analyzing, and predicting industry trends by the numbers.

This issue of TSL brings the evolution of our insights a step further. On these pages we break out key dimensions of growth within product segments and peer groups by company for attribution. The intrepid companies participating in this inaugural issue are further profiled by relevant statistics such as growth trends, industry and product focus and deal characteristics.

It is our expectation, that as more member companies join in sharing this beneficial information in the interest of providing a more robust and transparent view of our market environment, the secured finance industry will continue to grow in its impact and influence.

Together, these data sources paint a picture of a secured finance marketplace that is large, diverse, confident, growing and fulfilling its essential purpose of putting capital to work.

While much of the data in this issue is self-reported, we also draw upon publicly available data compiled by Refinitv, and, in the interest of accuracy, have applied consistent definitions for asset-based loans and factoring to those companies surveyed.
