Asset Finance Services

Asset Finance Services ("AFS") is dedicated to assisting banks in the management of their assets by primarily targeting loan disposition and syndication advisory services for each of its individual bank partners, regardless of size. The AFS team offers community banks and thrifts the following:

  • Market insight for individual loans and portfolios of either performing or distressed assets
  • Access to deep secondary markets in virtually all classes of bank loans coupled with disciplined loan sale services and relevant, client-tailored advice
  • Capital markets driven loan review, structuring, origination, valuation and brokerage services

AFS is the private loan advisory and trading resource of choice for community banks. With a team of professionals having over half a century of exceptional client service experience, AFS can help:

  • Advise clients on the disposition or purchase of assets through discreet market access and provide current, relevant and timely market insight for otherwise illiquid assets.
  • Arrange for loan trades on either an individual or pooled basis through exclusive engagements
  • Present both bank specific loan review, diligence, and broader market updates to senior management and board of directors
  • Generate additional capital through sale-leaseback transactions of bank owned properties
  • Provide access to a market of investors that are the most relevant depending on the asset class (e.g.: commercial & industrial loans, tract land, construction or fully developed real-estate) and credit quality of the underlying loans (performing or non-performing and REO)
  • Advise on a vast array of bank asset classes such as real estate, commercial and industrial, distressed assets as well as auto, student loans, and credit card
  • Execute structured solutions such as securitizations or last-loss non-recourse sales
  • Serve as a trusted syndication resource for banks that want to buy and/or sell loans but lack the internal human resources or expertise
  • Keep our client banks current on market happenings via periodic product alerts and Today's AFS Market Overview newsletter
