Summary
Cox Capital plans to offer a rescue of sorts to business-development company investors who have been unable to redeem their shares, according to a report by Isaac Taylor published in The Wall Street Journal's PE Daily newsletter. The firm's new strategy would provide loans secured by shares of nontraded BDC vehicles, giving holders of restricted positions a way to access capital without selling the underlying stakes.

The item highlights the liquidity constraints facing investors in nontraded BDCs, where redemption requests can be limited or suspended. The primary source does not disclose loan sizes, pricing, eligibility criteria, or the specific BDC vehicles involved, so those terms remain unreported in this coverage.

The same edition also notes that Arroyo is seeking $900 million for a new infrastructure fund and includes a discussion of venture investors' affinity for pro rata rights, the rights allowing existing investors to maintain their ownership percentage in subsequent financing rounds.
