NPL & Loan Portfolio Financing
Acquisition financing and advisory for non-performing loans and distressed loan portfolios.
Image · NPL & Loan Portfolio FinancingNon-performing loan (NPL) and loan-portfolio transactions let banks and lenders offload distressed exposures and let investors acquire them at a discount. Matchpoint advises buyers and sellers on NPL and loan-portfolio deals across the UK and UAE / GCC — structuring the acquisition, arranging the acquisition financing and connecting portfolios to specialist credit funds and servicers.
As part of our Debt practice, Matchpoint Partners has originated and led $2+ billion of transactions across four continents, and every debt mandate is led by a partner, from first call to close.
The central mandate decision. Value the portfolio from expected recoveries, timing and servicing capacity rather than unpaid principal. Buyers and financiers need asset-level data that can survive stratification and diligence.
What capital providers or counterparties will test
Loan tapes, documentation completeness, collateral, arrears history, borrower status, enforcement progress, jurisdiction, recoveries, servicing quality and data reconciliation to the general ledger.
How the mandate is structured
A sale, financing or joint-venture workout can be structured at portfolio or special-purpose-vehicle level. Cash-flow waterfalls should align servicing incentives, financing costs and recovery priorities.
Execution priorities
Clean the loan tape before marketing, segment by enforceability and recovery path, establish a base and downside valuation and prepare sample files for confirmatory diligence.
