Our Edge

Premier Partners was forged in the fire of the most acute and damaging financial crisis in living memory. This may sound somewhat melodramatic but ask any CEO or CFO what effect the current credit restrictions have had on his or her business and adjectives like “debilitating” or “crippling” will be found at or close to the top of their list.

 

The excesses of credit that had built up over a decade of irresponsible bank lending to consumers, businesses and entire sovereign states effectively caused the systematic failure of the global credit markets.

 

Premier Partners has not only successfully navigated our clients through this unprecedented storm but has actually flourished whilst the flood waters have swept away once highly revered banks and private equity giants. Securitization as a means to free up funds for lending is effectively dead in the water. We have eschewed the “borrow short – lend long” funding model and rely upon more traditional practices where the loans are retained by the originators rather than packaged and sold to investors for short-term gain. This means that our corporate clients benefit from knowing exactly who it is that holds their loan.

 

The foresight of our founders has been responsible for the unprecedented growth of our core business operations and it is this same vision that underpins the services we offer to our private clients.
