With its standardized documents boosting efficiency and liquidity in European investment-grade lending, the Loan Market Association (LMA) now wants to repeat the trick in the burgeoning leveraged market.
On January 28, the LMA unveiled its 195-page leveraged loan primary document. It was produced by a working party of bankers and lawyers, with input from the LMA’s institutional investor committee.
