According to the private credit provider, Msquared Capital’s decision to join AFG’s panel reflected a shared commitment to providing valuable services for brokers and their clients. This partnership is expected to enhance Msquared Capital’s ability to offer quality opportunities to investors seeking “high-calibre” mortgage-secured investments.
Michael Volkiene, general manager of loan origination and credit at Msquared Capital, highlighted the potential benefits of the new partnership.
“We are increasingly seeing borrowers fall outside traditional lending criteria or looking for short-term capital solutions that the banks can’t provide. Sophisticated brokers are looking to the private credit market to fill these gaps.
“The partnership with AFG allows us to work closely with their broker network to deliver on opportunities that meet these needs and cements our position as a dedicated and nimble partner for brokers,” Volkiene said.
Msquared Capital co-founder Paul Myliotis said: “Msquared Capital is a lending business for brokers, built by brokers, which reflects AFG’s origin and ethos. My co-founder and I saw both the challenges and opportunities in the private lending space from a broker’s perspective and created the business to fill that gap.”
“AFG has strict and discerning criteria for the partners they bring onto their panel, focused on industry-leading best-practice lenders. I’m proud that Msquared Capital has joined the panel and look forward to working with the team to support their network.”
This partnership is poised to enhance the services available to brokers, providing them with greater access to private credit solutions that address gaps in traditional lending.
Them Lam, AFG’s head of sales and distribution, stated that the current economic cycle has seen increased demand from clients for non-traditional lending options that “deliver good customer outcomes”.
“We are delighted to welcome Msquared Capital to the AFG panel. Msquared’s commitment to provide tailored alternative lending solutions to AFG brokers and their customers further strengthens our commitment to broaden customer choice.
“Msquared’s products will provide an important and complementary addition to AFG’s extensive broker offering. We look forward to working with the Msquared team,” Lam said.
Msquared has confirmed that it will be working with the aggregator over the coming months in order to deliver a range of educational sessions on private credit to its broker network, as well as taking part in state-based events and a national roadshow.
