Alpha Group International plc (LON:ALPH) today announced the launch of Alpha Match.
Alpha Match is Alpha’s digital debt intermediary service. It aims to disrupt the fund finance industry with its impartial database of more than 290 lenders – making the process of finding and securing the right lender and terms more transparent and efficient.
Increased regulatory pressure coupled with consolidation in the fund finance space has resulted in a much talked about liquidity gap, with small and mid-cap private capital funds struggling to secure fund level facilities. However, Alpha Match has identified and captured more than 290 lender profiles active in the space.
While it is certainly true that the lender landscape has changed and appetites have shifted, Alpha Match has found there are plenty of bank and non-bank lenders active across the entire spectrum of the private capital fund market.
Against a backdrop of increased LP scrutiny of NAV facilities, Alpha Match comes at a critical time for private capital fund managers, their investors and lenders.
As part of the platform launch, borrowers will be able to screen their initial requirements via the company’s website to see how many lenders currently match their key requirements.
