Fund finance

Client-centric expertise, working with our fund clients as their funding requirements evolve, and working with our lender clients as they grow this area of their business.

Fund finance at Burges Salmon draws on the strength of both our funds, and our banking and finance practices.

We understand the dynamic nature of funds and the important role which finance facilities can play – whether that is introducing gearing or assisting in the investment process. We are particularly strong in ensuring that the facilities work well in the real-world operational context.

The market is continually evolving and the breadth of our client base in this area enables us to ensure that our advice reflects current market developments and trends.

Our team is experienced across most asset classes, including private equity, debt, infrastructure, real estate, energy and fund of funds. We advise on secondaries financing, subscription finance, asset backed facilities (NAV facilities), hybrid facilities and general partner facilities.
