How it works

One model. Four partners.

Investors commit capital to the fund. We source, structure and manage the loans – and stay close to borrowers and investors throughout the lifecycle.

Our mission

To be the partner of choice for loan financing solutions for large and mid-sized Swiss corporates and financial sponsors.

We draw on in-depth, proven corporate finance experience in the Swiss and German-speaking market. Every company’s financing needs are unique – so we dedicate our full attention to structures that help our borrowers achieve their financial aspirations, while applying rigorous risk management standards that keep our lending commensurate with our target risk profile.

  1. 01

    Rooted in Switzerland

    Decades of corporate banking experience in Zurich and the German-speaking market.

  2. 02

    Tailored, not standard

    Each structure is built around the company, its cash flows and its plans.

  3. 03

    Disciplined on risk

    Rigorous standards keep every loan within our target risk profile.

Strategic investors

Built on long-term commitment.

Swiss Life, as main investor, and Vaudoise committed CHF 1.2 billion at launch. Two further investors have since joined, bringing total commitments to CHF 1.3 billion.

We are looking forward to working with Swiss Credit Partners and Vaudoise. This will open up further attractive investment opportunities for our policyholders. In addition, this initiative will expand the range of financing options available, which will also help to strengthen Switzerland as a business location.
