NAV Loans
Built for Venture Capital

Borrow against your fund's portfolio to double down on your winners even after the fund is fully called and deployed.

PE firms have used NAV loans for decades.

Private equity firms have relied on NAV loans for decades as a core investment tool: Bain's 2025 Private Equity Outlook credits them with helping push PE cash flow to breakeven in 2024.

For venture capital, the use case is straightforward. If your firm holds pro rata rights in your fund's biggest winners, a NAV loan lets the fund invest further without SPVs or cross-fund investments.

NAV Loans Built for Venture Capital

Turbine provides NAV loans purpose-built for VC firms. Structured around venture portfolios, priced for the asset class, and designed to move at the speed deals require.

Fast Execution

Access capital in weeks, not months. LPAC approval may be required.

Portfolio-Backed

Secured against the fund's portfolio, with institutional-grade structuring from Turbine's partner network of globally recognized banks and asset managers.

Amplify Returns

Deploy into follow-on rounds and recaps for your strongest companies. Repay when other positions exit, capturing upside your firm would otherwise miss.

NAV Loan vs. SPVs vs. Allocations

Most firms have two options after a fund is fully called and deployed. NAV loans are a powerful third path.

NAV Loan

Fast, with no LP ask and fund-level upside.

Borrow against the whole portfolio to invest further into existing companies. Repay when any position exits, rebalancing the fund toward its biggest winners.

SPV

Slow, complex, and LP-dependent.

Requires a new legal entity and a fresh raise from LPs, unpredictable in today's market, with added legal, accounting, and timeline risk.

Allocation

Limited, LP-only, and a relationship risk.

Handing pro rata rights to one large LP excludes the others and the fund gives up its own upside on the investment.

NAV loans are ideal for recapitalizations, rebalancing into fund winners, or when an SPV would be slow, costly, or uncertain.
