Expert guidance across the fund finance lifecycle
Validus supports private capital managers through strategic advisory, lender selection and hands-on execution to help clients navigate financing processes more efficiently and with confidence.
Fund finance structures require a balancing of liquidity needs, lender requirements, and evolving portfolio objectives in order to execute on opportunities. Validus helps clients evaluate financing options, assess structural considerations, and develop financing strategies aligned with operational and investment priorities.
Access to the right lender relationships plays a critical role in securing optimal financing terms and minimizing execution risk. Through established lender relationships and very detailed knowledge of their processes and strengths, we navigate financing discussions and evaluate structures across a broad range of fund finance providers on behalf of clients.
Executing fund finance transactions involves coordination across lenders, legal teams, administrators and internal stakeholders. Validus supports day-to-day execution processes to help transactions progress efficiently to closing.
The Fund Finance Advisory team brings a practitioner’s lens and deep banking relationships to deliver optimal fund financing outcomes.

Validus brings together fund finance market expertise, deep lender relationships and hands-on execution experience built across a broad range of private capital environments. Our team works closely with clients at every stage of the financing process, from acting as a sounding board to defining objectives and priorities, to early structuring discussions through to close, providing the continuity and practical insight that complex fund finance transactions demand.
Our team has worked across a broad range of fund finance structures and lender markets, giving clients access to informed, experience-backed advice at every stage of the financing process.
Our established lender relationships are built on years of market engagement. Clients benefit from detailed knowledge of a broad range of fund finance providers and the context needed to evaluate terms with confidence.
We lead the day-to-day execution, coordinating across lenders, legal teams and administrators so clients can focus on their core priorities while transactions progress efficiently.
As fund finance programs grow in scale and complexity, operations teams face increasing pressure to manage facilities efficiently alongside their core responsibilities, from preparing notices and reconciling interest to monitoring covenant compliance. Validus Fund Finance Ops is a tech-enabled service designed to take on these operational burdens, giving private capital funds the infrastructure to scale without placing additional strain on internal teams. The result is a more efficient, more visible and more robust back-office process across all your facilities.
Fund Finance Advisory covers financing strategy, structuring discussions, lender engagement and execution support through to close, designed to help private capital managers navigate the full financing lifecycle more efficiently.
Execution in fund finance transactions typically involves coordinating across multiple parties: lenders, legal counsel, fund administrators and internal stakeholders. Validus manages this coordination directly, helping to keep processes on track, anticipate issues early and support efficient progression from transaction design through closing.
Established lender relationships give clients a broader set of financing options and better context for evaluating them. We help clients understand how different lenders are likely to approach a transaction and where competitive tension can be created, supporting better outcomes on terms and execution certainty.
We support a range of fund finance structures commonly used by private capital managers, including subscription credit facilities, NAV-based financing solutions, GP lines and hybrid structures. Our approach is tailored to the specific characteristics of each client’s fund and portfolio, rather than applying a one-size-fits-all framework.
An external advisor gives you independent market context and negotiating leverage that a single in-house relationship rarely matches. Validus evaluates structures across a broad range of fund finance providers, helps diversify funding sources as bank appetite shifts, and brings the transaction experience to navigate complex or first-of-kind deals, so financing decisions rest on current market intelligence rather than one lender’s terms.
Validus designs and manages currency and interest rate hedging programs for funds, from quantifying exposure and setting the strategy through execution and rebalancing as portfolios and markets move.
For transactions like acquisitions, exits, or refinancings on tight deadlines, Event-Driven Hedging applies the same risk quantification and strategy design on a compressed, deal-specific timeline.
End-to-end EMIR, ASIC, and MiFID trade reporting run by one accountable counterparty, with daily submission, reconciliation, and the back-reporting of expired trades that banks rarely provide.
