Interest rate forward curves suggest stable borrowing costs for the next two quarters, a tailwind for commercial asset finance operations. Stable rates historically lead to consistent loan growth and reduced volatility in sector earnings. Currently, there is very little infrastructure to support private credit markets in emerging markets, and Kanastra has emerged as an all-in-one tech platform for funds and originators alike. In a market with too many service providers to interact with on a manual basis — fund managers, fund administrators, custodians, controllers, securitization companies, BaaS platforms, loan-as-a-service providers, and monitoring agents — the company provides a tech-forward fund admin solution with end-to-end platform features. The team’s product roadmap is smart and ambitious, with plans to automate onboarding, day-to-day management, risk management, monitoring, analytics, and business intelligence. One broker commented: “Customers sometimes think that as long as the business being acquired is trading ok [that is enough].” Another added: “Not so much with experienced operators [but] first-time buyers need stronger business plans and projections.” Recent mergers in the commercial asset finance space signal consolidation aimed at scale efficiency. Larger portfolios tend to attract institutional lenders, which could translate into improved capital access and competitive loan rates.
