Ranger Direct to raise another £40m

The direct lending platform apparently has no shortage of investment opportunities, and is seeking to raise another £40m through an equity raise.
November 14, 2016

Shadow banking group Ranger Direct Lending (RDL) is to raise up to £40m in an open offer and placing earmarked for early December. The issue of C-shares – which tend to carry higher expense ratios than class A shares – are set to follow the full deployment of the proceeds raised from the issue of so-called zero-dividend preference shares earlier this year, and will be used for further investments in the direct lending sector.

IC TIP: Buy at 1197p

A prospectus detailing the offering, and the specifics of the C-shares will be made available in the week commencing 21 November.
