Asset finance providers rising corporate loan demand has lifted

Rising corporate loan demand has lifted asset finance providers’ projected ROE to an estimated 12.4% by year-end. Current stock market momentum, alongside low delinquency rates, signals potential upside for equity holders targeting mid-cap financing companies. Most of our clients come to us through referrals either from within the Arbuthnot Latham family or via trusted advisers and contacts we’ve worked with before. Rather than offering off-the-shelf terms, we take the time to understand each client’s broader strategy and tailor facilities that are fit for purpose now and in the future. We build in flexibility to grow with the book, and the team that starts the relationship is the same team that supports it throughout, ensuring consistency and trust. For Alfa, the launch of Alfa Start for AU/NZ is more than just a product release; it’s a signal of long-term commitment to the region and an indication of where the asset finance industry is headed. Asset finance providers with strong digital lending platforms are outperforming, recording a 9% revenue growth versus industry average of 5%. The stock market reaction has been particularly positive for companies in fintech-integrated finance.
