Credit Crunch: New Mountain’s Kaplan on Net-Lease Landscape

“Manufacturing assets, the availability of them, have been chronically undersupplied for decades,” says Teddy Kaplan, CEO of Net Lease for New Mountain Capital, when making the investment case for the sector within a net-lease portfolio. Kaplan joins Bloomberg Intelligence’s Noel Hebert on this episode of the Credit Crunch podcast to discuss sale-leasebacks, the evolution of the marketplace and the synergies of net lease within the New Mountain product set. They also explore on-shoring trends dating back through several administrations, asset-multiple arbitrage, identifying the right markets and tenants, as well as geographic growth opportunities. Kaplan and Hebert conclude with a conversation on managing distress within the portfolio and the emergence of asset-backed funding solutions.
