MANAGEMENT
OVERVIEW
The Aquasia Team have extensive experience in the credit, fixed income and property market which gives it a strong understanding of markets dynamics and the changes taking place in the regulatory environment.
Aquasia continues to see good investment opportunities in today’s loan and fixed-income markets as a consequence of the regulatory environment confronting the banking sector. With local banks scaling back lending in particular sectors this is providing opportunities to enhance returns and deliver steady income streams. This may be through the acquisition or refinancing of assets from financial institutions or sellers disposing of quality financial assets or portfolios for strategic reasons or due to the need to restructure their assets to satisfy prudential requirements.
