NAV Loans & Continuation Vehicles Discussions with ORIX’s Jed Johnson on Private Capital Innovation
In this episode of the Dakota Research Interview, Chris LeRoy speaks with Jed Johnson, Head of GP Solutions at ORIX USA, about how the firm is reshaping capital access for private equity sponsors. With a $40B AUM platform and $10B in proprietary balance sheet capital, ORIX provides custom financing for GPs, including NAV loans, GP financings, and continuation vehicle structures. Jed shares how ORIX partners with middle and lower-middle market firms to support add-on acquisitions, platform growth, and new fund commitments—without requiring dilution or selling GP stakes. They also break down key market trends, including extended hold periods, the rise of CVs, and the growing demand for tailored capital solutions. If you're tracking innovation in private equity secondaries, GP-led deals, or fund-level credit, this episode is packed with insight.
