Guarantee Trust & Merchant Bankers, L.P.
Mandate & Investment Focus
A flexible merchant-banking mandate: distressed credit, financial institutions, real assets, and energy / fintech adjacencies.
Old-world discipline. New-world velocity.
Where we deploy the house balance sheet
We concentrate on situations where experience, structure and tolerance for complexity create genuine edge—rather than chasing broad market beta.
Distressed credit & special situations
- Distressed bonds and loans across corporate and structured credit.
- Complex restructurings, rescue financings, and bespoke private credit structures.
- Opportunistic secondary purchases from liquidity-constrained or regulated sellers.
Financial institutions & specialty finance
- Minority stakes and structured capital for niche lenders and specialty finance platforms.
- Situations where regulation, funding gaps, or legacy liabilities create mispricing.
- Preference for aligned partners building durable, cash-generative credit franchises.
Real estate & hard assets
- Opportunistic acquisitions and recapitalisations, with a focus on Florida and selective U.S. markets.
- Distressed or capital-starved projects with embedded optionality: entitlement, repositioning, recap.
- Structures that blend asset value, cash flow and special-situation upside.
Energy, infrastructure & fintech adjacencies
- Targeted exposure to energy and infrastructure-linked opportunities in the Americas.
- Data-centre, digital-asset and tokenisation structures anchored in real-world cash flows.
- Fintech and embedded-finance platforms sitting at the intersection of credit, payments and custody.
