Our approach to investments


Target lending markets with scalable and compelling risk return
We identify compelling opportunities where there is a gap between capital demand and supply, and create access points for term investment capital to go where it is needed.

Direct origination
We create value from the insights provided by our relationships with borrowers – being better able to serve their needs whilst also mitigating credit risks.

Structure our own investments
We interlock the design of our loan structures and the liabilities that fund them, to optimise the outcome for both borrowers and investors.

Fundamental credit analysis
We utilise our proprietary risk analytics and valuation platform, Vera, which underpins our approach to underwriting risk.

Risk management
We focus on building and maintaining a robust financial, operational and compliance risk infrastructure.

Promote sustainability
We integrate environmental, social and governance factors into our investments, to benefit the society on which we depend.
