RAW
Capital Partners, the Guernsey-based independent boutique asset
management company, has launched an alternative lending fund
focused on mortgage lending.
The RAW Mortgage Fund is the company's sixth fund launch and
aims to build upon the growing excitement about the peer-to-peer
(P2P) lending space with a fund that Tim Parkes, RAW's lead
Manager for this new fund, describes as 'many-to-many'.
"The RAW Mortgage Fund aims to unitise peer-to-peer
lending, linking investors with savings through a regulated fund
structure with borrowers who want to invest in property: typically
buy-to-let landlords; like a building society in the form of a
fund," said Mr Parkes.
The fund expects to advantage both investors and borrowers by
significantly reducing the spread between cash deposit and lending
rates traditionally seen at high street banks. The fund expects to
return 4.5% gross to investors with a low risk to capital.
