Fund Finance for Investment Managers

Subscription Line Financing Advisory

Financely advises private equity, private credit, infrastructure and real estate fund managers on subscription credit facilities secured by eligible uncalled investor commitments. These revolving facilities can bridge capital calls, support investments and improve fund-level liquidity management.

Bridge Capital Calls With a Committed Facility

A subscription line allows a fund to borrow against the uncalled commitments of eligible investors. The facility can provide temporary liquidity for acquisitions, expenses and investments before capital contributions are received.

We review the fund structure, analyze the investor base and prepare a lender-ready financing package for targeted placement.

Eligible Fund Structures

Private Equity

Buyout and Growth Funds

Bridge investments, management fees and transaction expenses before scheduled capital calls are funded.

Private Credit

Direct Lending Funds

Support loan closings and portfolio deployment while coordinating investor contribution timing.

Infrastructure

Infrastructure Funds

Fund project investments and contractual commitments before drawing capital from limited partners.

Real Estate

Property Investment Funds

Bridge acquisitions, deposits and closing costs across single-asset and diversified fund strategies.

The primary collateral is normally the fund’s right to call capital. Lenders therefore focus on the enforceability of capital commitments, investor quality and the fund’s governing documents.
