Strategies

How we create lasting value for Investors

The Fintech Lending Fund I invests in credit facilities secured against granular pools of underlying SME loans and credits issued by Fintech Lending 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.

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

The Fund offers institutional investors exposure to a diversified portfolio of conservatively managed global trade finance assets. The assets of the Fund are short dated, self-liquidating and facilitate the supply of goods or services. The focus of the fund is to deliver stable returns to investors while seeking to preserve capital in-line with Sharia-compliance. We consider this strategy an important type of socially responsible investment.

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

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 ABS security is an ordinary debt note with loans linked to embedded finance programs and digital/blockchain offerings.

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

Programme Management

Why Channel?

As part of our asset management platform, we offer digital services designed to provide our partners with risk management monitoring and reporting over the term of their transaction

This service has the potential to add real value our partners, facilitating enhanced risk monitoring designed to support growth and importantly avoiding the need to set up costly operational and technological infrastructure.

Our approach to portfolio monitoring set up is to be as flexible as possible, tailoring reporting to suit your specific monitoring requirements. In addition, we can also provide proposals and “out of the box” solutions, if so required.

We have managed over $9bn of assets on a network or cumulative basis and provide digital monitoring to both our investing and borrowing partners to facilitate better outcomes.

 

Our ABS Reporting service is designed to provide independent oversight and a robust outsourced solution that monitors the full life cycle of a transaction. It provides enhanced risk monitoring on a scalable basis designed to support the growth of your business. We take on new or existing transactions.

By utilising our proprietary Digital Securitisation as a Service (DSaaS) software, our clients avoid time consuming and expensive operational and technological infrastructure builds, relieving the stress, costs, and management of the reporting process.

We monitor and report key transaction performance metrics regardless of transaction complexity and we can provide either a risk reporting suite for internal or external use. If required, we can also propose enhancements to your existing reporting to assist in proactive monitoring.

We have extensive knowledge and over 50 years experience in managing complex asset backed structures, having assisted clients in their reporting and monitoring requirements across a number of complex transaction formats.
