NEWS for 2012
Difficult lending conditions continue to prevail and the retrenchment
from traditional lending by the banks, pinched by capital requirements
and continuing personal and commercial defaults has created an
opportunity for investment vehicles to enter areas of lending markets
forsaken by the banks.
Lending against shares and share portfolios is one such area – our
lenders are hedge funds, our clients are high net worth individuals,
venture capital firms and corporate clients.
