Overview

Non-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.
