Encina Lender Finance, LLC

In October 2020, Encina Capital Partners, LLC and an affiliate of certain funds managed by Oaktree Capital Management, L.P. together announced the launch of Encina Lender Finance, LLC (“ELF”), a new independent lender finance platform targeting consumer and commercial specialty finance companies in the U.S. and Canada. Operating from both coasts, ELF offers revolving lines of credit, delayed draw term loans, and forward flow purchase programs ranging in size from $50 - $150 million to emerging and established specialty finance companies with strong junior capital sponsorship across a wide range of short-to-intermediate duration asset classes in the consumer and commercial finance sectors. Targeted consumer asset classes include unsecured installment and revolving loans (direct-to-consumer and point-of-sale), secured vehicle finance, home improvement, and student lending (in-school vocational, refi). Targeted commercial asset classes include asset-based lending, factoring, equipment finance, floorplan finance, CRE bridge lending, and small balance SMB lending (both direct-to-business and embedded point-of-sale). In addition, ELF provides streamlined “first-out” financing to other like-minded private credit investors in the specialty finance sector. ELF utilizes a combination of cutting-edge technologies and rigorous collateral-level analysis to generate differentiated investment insights and to formulate creative solutions to its counterparties’ portfolio and enterprise financing needs.
