How we create lasting value for Investors

Strategies

The Fintech Lending Finance Strategy invests in highly granular pools of short-dated SME loans and credits originated from Partner platforms carefully chosen and evaluated by Channel.

The portfolio is subject to industry, geography and credit quality limits. Channel evaluates the Partner as well as underlying SME portfolio trends and performance.

We provide regular portfolio monitoring and ESG overlay to each investment.

The Sustainability-Linked Strategy invests in high quality debt securities linked to pools of short-dated credit products. Originated from North America, UK, EU and Australia.

This is our long established receivables and inventory investment strategy. The strategy is designed to provide USD, EUR, GBP and AUD investors with floating rate stable returns on short-dated pools of diversified credit risk with low correlation to on-the-run indices.

Each investment is structured to meet an investment grade quality level.

Our Sharia-compliant strategies are carefully governed by the requirements of Sharia law and the principles of the Islamic religion.

Channel chose to develop this product line with Sharia-compliant investors as we consider it an important type of socially responsible investment.

Channel has managed securitised products since 2007 in a variety of asset classes as underlying collateral.

Digital ABS securities are notes issued by Luxembourg or Cayman vehicles managed by Channel. Originations are prospected, assessed and monitored using a data-driven approach.

Each Digital ABS is an ordinary ABS with loans linked to embedded finance programs and digital/blockchain offerings.

Notes can be listed or rated by rating agencies to suit investor preferences.
