APS is pleased to announce that Loan Management III has reached fully invested status and is now closed to further capital inflows. The APS advised fund targeting distressed debt opportunities in Central, Eastern and Southeastern Europe (CESE) successfully invested EUR 87M across sixteen well diversified transactions.
The strategy is expected to fully return the invested principal in 2020, and is on track to deliver target performance. The portfolio includes corporate secured loans with exposures in Romania, Bosnia and Serbia, mortgage exposures in Hungary, and unsecured retail exposure in Greece. All transactions are serviced by APS Recovery, the servicing arm of APS.
Successful conclusion of investments of Loan Management III confirms the dominant position of APS as a co-investor, an investment adviser and a servicer within the CESE region.
Jozef Martinak, CEO and CIO of APS Investments, commented: “The Fund benefits from APS’s fifteen-year track record as a private debt specialist. The key contributors behind the successful conclusion of the Fund’s investments include our extensive knowledge of the regional specifics, wide origination network and a long-term experience in investing in and servicing both non-performing, and performing assets. We look forward to put our skills to work within the follow up vehicle Loan Management IV, which we are currently raising”.
