Best in class offering across the funds finance market
The funds finance market is highly competitive and requires both technical excellence and a focus on innovation to achieve the best results.
Our team of specialists works on unique and complex deals which push the envelope and require the best minds in the Australian market. Whilst not necessary on every transaction, we can provide personnel and the mind set to partner with you on achieving your objectives.

- Financing based on equity commitment undertakings from the fund
- Carry/co-investment facilities to the general partners, executives and employees in particular in relation to consumer credit issues
