Fund Finance

Advising lenders and borrowers on fund finance transactions, including subscription/equity bridge facilities, and diverse and concentrated NAV facilities.

Our fund finance team is part of our wider finance practice and has a wealth of experience in advising lenders and borrowers on fund finance transactions, including subscription/equity bridge facilities, diverse and concentrated NAV facilities, hybrid and other fund facilities, as well as financing secondaries fund portfolios.

We work with financial institutions, private equity sponsors, fund managers and investors to provide tailored and pragmatic solutions to meet their financing needs and objectives, handling complex and cross-border transactions efficiently and seamlessly.

As members of our fund finance team are also sector-specific experts, we not only have a deep understanding of the structures and documentation relating to funds, but also the underlying fund assets. This gives us an additional perspective in the context of fund transactions and enhances our ability to advise on the due diligence, security, intercreditor and regulatory issues arising from these transactions, as well as the commercial and operational aspects. 

Whether you are a lender or a borrower, a fund sponsor or an investor, we relish the opportunity to work with you.
