A loan from a number of different lenders acting together.

The lenders form a syndicate and the borrower borrows from the syndicate.


Historically the lenders were normally banks, acting through an 'agent bank'.

More recently some 'non-banks', notably hedge funds or pension funds, will also be parties to syndicated loans – in the primary market for sub-investment grade and, in the secondary market more widely too.

Non-bank lenders are particularly attracted to fully drawn, often fixed rate tranches of a loan rather than revolving or stand-by tranches.


Three types of syndicated loan deal are:

  1. An underwritten deal
  2. A best-efforts deal
  3. A club deal
