Credit Snapshot

How GSEC’s own Schedule of Investments reads as a credit. Fair values are the manager’s own estimates; balance-sheet metrics (NAV, leverage) appear once annual financials are on file.

MetricValueWhat healthy looks like
Top-5 Borrower Concentration52% of portfolio FV largest: Chase Industries, Inc. (dba Senneca Holdings) Building Products (12.3% of FV)Measured against NAV, not just portfolio value: leverage means one borrower’s writedown hits book value harder than its portfolio share suggests. Diversified BDCs typically keep any single name to a low single-digit share of the portfolio.
Debt Marked Below 9017.8% (6.4% below 80) of marked debt FV (100% coverage)Loans marked below 90 cents on the dollar are the book’s watchlist; a growing tail often precedes non-accrual.
PIK Income Share33.8% of debt FV carries a PIK component 96th pct of 23 upper-MM peersInterest paid “in kind” adds to the loan instead of paying cash; a rising PIK share is the classic early sign of borrower stress.
Floating-Rate Mix62% floating, mostly SOFR of rate-classified debt (100% coverage); the rest fixedFloating-rate loans reprice with their benchmark (mostly SOFR), so a high floating share means portfolio income rises when the Fed hikes and falls when it cuts — the book’s rate sensitivity in one number.
Non-Accrualsnot yet parsed1–3% of debt fair value is normal; 5%+ is a warning sign. We don’t parse this yet — check the latest 10-Q.

Manager Track Record

Through-the-cycle indicators computed from filed schedule-of-investments data: the non-accrual level and its four-quarter direction, the fleet standing among BDCs whose latest filing clears the 90% determinate-coverage gate, and the average debt mark against a year earlier. A track record, not a verdict — each row is coverage-gated and omitted when the data doesn’t support it. As of the 2026-08-11 filing.

Quarter-over-quarter changes

Borrowers added to and dropped from the book between the 2026-05-12 and 2026-08-11 filings, and the largest weighted-mark moves on borrowers held across both. Aggregated to the borrower so a company’s exposure is counted once even when its loan tranches are re-cut quarter to quarter; entries and exits under $0.5M are omitted as parse noise.

Marks reflect each BDC’s own fair-value estimates as reported to the SEC, not traded prices. Private-credit loans are predominantly Level 3 under ASC 820 — valued from unobservable inputs and determined in good faith by each BDC’s board, so figures are estimates as of the filing date and are not directly comparable across managers. Informational only; not investment advice or a valuation.

About Goldman Sachs Private Middle Market Credit

Goldman Sachs Private Middle Market Credit (GSEC) is a publicly traded Business Development Company (BDC) — essentially a publicly listed fund that lends money to mid-sized private companies. In plain English: BDCs raise money from public investors and lend it to businesses that are too small for Wall Street banks. To qualify for pass-through tax treatment, they distribute at least 90% of their taxable investment income to shareholders, which is why BDC yields are often 8–12%. Goldman Sachs Private Middle Market Credit discloses its full loan portfolio through SEC filings.
