GCI bolsters asset-backed finance team

Global Credit Investments (GCI), a specialist in private credit fund management, has announced the expansion of its asset-backed finance team with the appointment of Gary Looi (pictured centre) as investment director.

Looi brings over a decade of industry knowledge, having held leadership roles in international debt origination, financial modelling, capital structuring, and credit analysis.

Investment analysts Sunny Xu (pictured left) and Ethan Zhu (pictured right) have also joined the team to support Looi, who will oversee deal origination, structuring, and risk management for GCI’s asset backed finance offerings.

“Our asset-backed finance strategy has a proven track record of success,” said Henry Stewart, managing director of asset backed finance at Global Credit Investments. “We are excited to have Gary, Sunny and Ethan join us to enhance this offering. 

“Amid growing investment opportunities, it’s important to continue to strengthen the team with deeply experienced experts that enable us to offer efficient feedback on investment opportunities and focused execution of transactions.”

Also commenting on the appointments, Gavin Solsky, managing director and co-founder of Global Credit Investments, said that by continuing to augment its asset-backed finance team, GCI is placing itself in a strong position to meet a growing demand for creative lending services.

“Our team specialises in funding emerging non-bank finance companies that often fall below the scale of large institutional funders. They need a partner with a flexible approach that is adaptable to their growth and designed to bridge this gap,” he said.

Since its establishment in 2015, GCI has developed a suite of private credit services, tailored to support non-bank finance companies and offer direct lending to corporations with a variety of assets, such as property, plant, equipment, receivables, and inventory.

GCI aims to support clients that are not adequately served by traditional institutional credit providers, offering loan facilities ranging from $5 million to $50 million with terms up to five years.
