Allco sustains SE Asian foothold with Malaysian JV
Allco Finance has moved to lift its profile in South East Asia via a joint venture agreement with Malaysian interests, which will see it investing in the mezzanine/junior tranches of Malaysian structured asset finance transactions.
The executive chairman of Allco Asia, David Turnbull, said the joint venture had been struck with Malaysia’s second largest financial services provider, CIMB Group, and would operate via the CIMB Allco Structured Finance Fund.
The joint venture follows Allco’s establishment of an office in Kuala Lumpur, and further joint venture arrangements between the parties were flagged, including structured asset finance originations, funds management arrangements and a structured asset finance investment advisory business.
Turnbull said the joint venture agreement with CIMB Group furthered Allco’s business model, which was to apply origination and structuring skills to particular assets, arrange finance and then manage the assets through their lifecycle.
