Atalaya Risk Management Overview
What is Specialty Finance?
■
Specialty finance can be broadly defined as any financing activity that takes place outside the traditional banking system.
Specialty finance firms have long filled a portion of the credit gap left by traditional banks
▪ The void created by continued bank retrenchment in the wake of the Great Financial Crisis (since 2008) has led to specialty
finance companies growing at healthy rates and has created a significant ongoing need for debt capital to fund originations
