Synthesis is set up to offer investors whichever investment vehicle best suits their needs: a securitization program, or a dedicated managed account, or a master participation agreement

Our primary focus is on small and medium-sized businesses (SMEs), which, due to regulatory and operational pressures and not their quality, can struggle to obtain financing from banks.

Synthesis master risk participation agreement

A method for third party investors with surplus liquidity to obtain 5% + $ Libor annualised yields via secured, credit insured, transactional finance. Investors are able to select individual transactions to finance or provide discretionary guidelines.

Short duration and self-liquidating transactions mean that the WAL of investments can be managed to between 30 and 90 days, ensuring that liquidity targets can be met.
