Raymond van Hulst, Managing Director and CEO of Omni Bridgeway, said:
“In legal finance, institutional capital is consolidating around mature, scaled managers with proprietary origination and work-out capability, and a track record of disciplined underwriting that has performed through multiple economic cycles.”
“Our successful close, the 99% reinvestment rate, and the sophisticated institutional quality of our investment base reflect our leading position within legal finance.”
“Funded parties increasingly and rightly focus on capital availability, long-term stability and commitment authority. Every dollar we commit is matched by dedicated fund capital earmarked to that matter. Omni Bridgeway is the sole decision-maker, and the availability of our capital commitment is not exposed to the outcome of other portfolio investments, capital market conditions, third-party underwriting or syndication. Counterparties increasingly recognize and value these differentiators – and accordingly assign a premium to our capital.”
