Credit Equity

How do secure credit trusts benefit the investments?

However, the continuing fall in certain corporate lending categories became apparent recently when the mass press reported that UK overdrafts for small companies are still being cut by around 5m per annum and that banks' branches have fallen by around 40 per cent since 2008.

Something the P.E. sector could have been helping with? Credits of this kind could be obtained against UK arable land, an intrinsic value which has maintained a significant value irrespective of the UK's financial situation. However, the possibility of investing is different from that of PE. As a rule, PE-Fonds do not want to own single companies or companies producing foodstuffs.

The smaller companies have a tendency to have inflows and outflows that are too small for most equity companies and too large or too complicated for most mass financings or peer-to-peer groups. On the other hand, secure financing can create a steady flow of revenue based on companies that produce and process foodstuffs, which are less susceptible to cyclical weaknesses.

The PE and risk cap fund will usually need significant medium-term commitment, usually 10 years, but sometimes longer. On the other side, asset-based lending offers the possibility to provide a much shorter-term cash flow with the possibility to repay the loans within a few month. While not all credit trusts are organized in this way, and many maintain the cash features of longer-term investing vehicle, trusts with a very diversified client base can certainly provide excess cash to individuals while often sustaining a low level of correlations with equity and conventional equity and bond market-based investing capabilities.

Debt investment trusts are expanding worldwide. According to the UK alone, the ABFA (Asset based Financing Association), 4.2 billion of GBP is now protected against tough corporate financing in the UK. Total financing provided to UK companies through asset-based financing, comprising invoicing and collateralised loans, amounted to £19.3 billion at the end of June 2015.

In the European Union as a whole, the volume of Factoring and Trade Financing increased by more than 7%. PE is a more developed sector, but according to the European Venture Capital Association PE investment in Europe was ?42 billion and ?39 billion in 2014. Preqin's figures show that by the end of the first quarter of 2015 158 billion had been pledged for credit investment trusts worldwide, 46 billion for Europe.

There is a financing shortfall for small and medium-sized businesses (SMEs) in Europe and elsewhere, as banking continues to withdraw from different jurisdictions and industries where margin or high levels of required finance are detrimental to attractiveness. Simultaneously, fund managers have looked for those using uncorrelated policies, a clear and easy-to-understand investment strategy that can outperform bonds' benchmarks.

Both are offered by asset-based credit allocation. It is an entrenched investment category, but as we have seen over the past 15 years or so, it may turn out to becyclic. Once incorporated, single investment trusts are shut down, subject to a finite time frame and often have to start selling off financial instruments after the trusts have exceeded the five-year limit.

Typically, a structured business that could potentially deliver a varied credit offering could include a mutual trust with a number of financial institutions that pass on the credit to end customers and act as an important resource for on-going dealer flows.

They should be led by people with broad financial or bank industry background and an understanding of the economy of the industry in which they operate. Just like privately held equity, asset-based creditors have a tendency to engage in specific industries or markets in which they have knowledge, connections and operations.

There is a strong emphasis on the provision of equity to companies, especially start-ups, through the use of equity and risk financing products. In this regard, asset-based credit is beginning to have a similar function to equity, substituting the funding needed to sustain crucial industries such as agriculture, grocery manufacturing and the renovation of investments in power infrastructures, thus contributing to keeping the light on.

At the policy juncture, it is this encouraging effect that contributes to the broader expansion of asset-based credit as a sophisticated and reputable category of assets. After all, from a finance point of view, private-equity mutuals, while legally considered as owner of a company, are asset-based financiers usually corporate creditors and suppliers of collateralized credit.

It is an open issue whether asset-based lending is seen as a component of infrastructural investments, but we believe that it will develop into a separate assets category alongside property, PE and hedge fund investments. Mr. Reeves is the founding father of Prestige Capital Management.
