Direct lendingDirect lending

Since the height of the financial crisis in 2008, banks have been scaling back their direct lending leaving creditworthy companies and, indeed, entire sectors in need of alternative sources of finance. While difficult for many, this has created a number of opportunities for institutional investors to step in and fill the ‘funding gap’.

We have used our experience to develop a number of funds that allow pension funds and insurance companies to take full advantage of these opportunities including lending to small and medium-sized companies, housing association registered providers, commercial real estate borrowers and infrastructure projects.
