Asset Finance (“AF”) is a growth area within Private Credit, focusing on financings backed by physical and/or financial collateral. AF provides flexible funding solutions across the capital structure, engaging in a broad range of asset-based strategies that include RE financings/ specialty mortgages, consumer and SME loans, fund financing, trade receivables, hard asset financings and more.
This is an opportunity to play an important role in the development and growth of our global asset finance platform, and get exposure to a global team and full spectrum of the team’s activities, which are varied and challenging. Those encompass transaction origination, underwriting, structuring, risk management and execution.
Client focus and creativity are the cornerstones of our business. We strive towards an entrepreneurial, flexible, and open culture, where we work collaboratively with teams across GSAM on initiatives that further improve overall performance and enable us to anticipate our clients’ evolving needs.
The investment ambitions of our clients may be simply risk or return focused, but often also are informed by ALM, accounting, or regulatory capital considerations. We work closely to identify and align with these, and make use of structured finance techniques to help them to efficiently express their positioning via tailored investment solutions. As such, our asset focus is broad and can vary widely both in terms of investment risk (underlying exposures and objectives) and delivery (broad range of fund/ managed account products).
