Oxane Partners Limited ("Oxane"), a leading technology-driven solutions provider to private markets, announced that it has won multiple mandates to act as facility agent and security agent on loans across real estate and maritime asset classes. The loans have a combined unpaid balance of over £250 million.
The multi-currency loan servicing mandates were appointed by two large real estate lenders, a global investment bank and a global investment firm specializing in alternatives. These mandates affirm that lenders are keen to upgrade to Oxane's digital-first proposition of Loan Servicing 2.0, that lets lenders capitalise on an award-winning digital ecosystem helmed by an experienced servicing team, giving investors complete control over their data, loan administration, proactive surveillance, and automation of all reporting.
Cumulatively, these multi-jurisdictional loans are secured by hotels, offices, retail assets, social housing, development land and shipping vessels. Oxane's primary responsibilities include loan administration, cash management, borrower correspondence, and investor remittances. On the shipping loan-on-loan transaction, Oxane has been appointed as facility agent, security agent and process agent on behalf of the senior and junior lenders with responsibilities extending to a full range of servicing functions including running payments waterfalls, cash & position reconciliations, allocation of proceeds, and reporting to both investors. The loans will be managed via the award-winning platform, Oxane CREST, which offers lenders improved portfolio visibility through superior data management, risk monitoring, and reporting.
"These mandates are the culmination of our business expansion into the European loan servicing market and represent an endorsement of Oxane's proprietary technology platforms and cement Oxane's role as an innovator in the digitalisation of loan servicing and the broader private markets industry." commented Vishal Soni, co-Founder at Oxane.
The servicing business is led by Andrew Tisdall, ex-Mount Street, and Yousuf Attarwala, ex-Situs who together bring close to 50 years of loan servicing experience. Oxane can support professional alternative debt investors' more exacting requirements for improved risk control, portfolio surveillance, and reporting processes.
"We're delighted to announce the signing up of multiple mandates in quick succession, which is proof that our Loan Servicing 2.0 solution is spiking the interest of lenders for the benefits it brings with a digital-first approach.", commented Andrew Tisdall, Director at Oxane Partners. "Our technology-driven solution, enabled by an experienced team of servicing experts is helping our clients adopt the digital transformation that's underway in the loan servicing industry."
Earlier last month, Oxane announced that three global investment banks across the US and Europe signed up for Oxane Panorama, the illiquid credit portfolio management platform.
