A Field Guide to Fund Finance

Fund finance encompasses a broad range of solutions that provide liquidity, leverage, and investment capital to fund managers and investors. The market has witnessed significant growth in recent years due to the rising demand for alternative investments, such as private equity, secondaries, real estate, infrastructure, and private credit.
