Fund Finance

We advise private capital managers, financial institutions and lenders across the full range of fund finance transactions, from subscription lines, NAV and hybrid facilities to bespoke asset-backed structures.

We support clients with clear and strategic guidance on how to structure and execute complex deals across a variety of asset classes, including private equity, credit, hedge, secondaries and real estate strategies.

We advise on complex financing structures, including:

• NAV, co-investment, management company and leverage and borrowing hybrid facilities;
• subscription line financings;
• asset-based lending; and
• rated note feeders and other structured fund financings. 

Our clients benefit from our sector experience and market insight, we are adept at advising fund managers, banks, and specialist lenders, and regularly coordinate international, cross-border advice.
