Dividends predominantly covered by net interest income generated from RECI's assets. The aim is for dividend cover from net interest income

 

•    Opportunities

-

The present macroeconomic backdrop is set to continue through 2023/2024, resulting in further constraints in bank lending and alternative sources of capital. The opportunity to provide senior loans at low risk points, for higher margins, is increasingly evident

-

The Company expects to deploy its currently available cash resources to its near term commitments and towards a compelling emerging opportunity set in senior loans
