ITERAM Capital SA, an independent alternative asset manager, and Menara Capital Ltd, an innovative financial services company, announced that they are entering into a strategic partnership to accelerate the growth and momentum of their lending and financing activities.
“This strategic partnership will leverage both companies’ complementary skills in asset management and transactional finance to drive our growth in private markets through strong synergies in sourcing, structuring, underwriting and investing”, commented Manuel Garzelli, CEO of ITERAM Capital. Since 2015, ITERAM and Menara have been helping businesses to obtain innovative lending and financing solutions to support their growth and working capital needs as traditional banks have limited lending activities due to tightening regulatory capital rules.
