Project scope and objective

The proposed project includes a financing mechanism that will consist on a senior, secured, revolving warehouse facility of up to US$40 million, whose proceeds will be used to purchase and accumulate eligible endorsable mortgage loans or other similar instruments to small and mid-sized companies in Chile for a future asset backed securitization. The transaction will support and improve SMEs access to financing in Chile, narrowing the current financing gap that is increasing due to the COVID-19 crisis, and will help further expand debt capital markets in the country through new issuances of asset backed securities. The proceeds from the line will allow AVLA Group to expand its SMEs’ credit insurance business segment. The warehousing facility may support several accumulation periods, for a maximum of six years.
