Alex Branton runs NAV lending at Nodem Capital, one of the few firms financing the illiquid end of private wealth, where he sees roughly 150 portfolios a year and underwrites about 20. 

He breaks down why banks won't lend against private equity and venture no matter how large the portfolio, and how to weigh borrowing against a private book versus selling it at a steep secondary discount. 

If you're holding illiquid assets you can't easily sell, he lays out what separates a facility worth taking from one that quietly turns debt into equity risk.
