I Best Healthcare Investments Specialists – Central Europe Since the financial crisis, the banks’ contributions to the real economy have fallen sharply due to new Capital Requirements Directive IV under Basel III, which has shrunk their loan books. This has pushed new ventures and existing firms to seek financing outside of the traditional financial system which enables them to operate efficiently and to keep their competitive edge. On the investment side, investors are moving towards the private debt investment due to their accrued diversification compared other asset classes: bond-like volatility and equity-like returns, which provide a reliable revenue stream. These characteristics have made these instruments very attractive. There are three appealing investment solutions within the private lending sector which Invescap focuses on: asset based lending, factoring receivables, and bridge financing. Asset based lending is lines of credit that are secured by the company’s assets; such investments are essentially underleveraged and collateralised. In factoring receivables, the term “factoring” refers to the outright purchase of accounts receivable at a discount from their face value, providing businesses with quick working capital. Such investments are typically collateralised by the end beneficiary. Bridge financing is a short-term loan typically made to businesses and for the acquisition real-estate, usually maturing within a year. Like other types of private lending, bridge loans have higher interest rates than traditional banking loans and are collateralised by the end client. Ultimately, Invescap provides investors with high added value so they can meet investment objectives, to allow them to diversify away from traditional funds as well as a definite capital preservation feature which is beneficial in cases of market downturn as well as being reassuring to investors in such cases. Invescap believes that such values meet the core long-term needs of any serious investor, and in the future, it will continue to strive to achieve these objectives.
