Our Distinctive Approach

- We take a prudent approach to managing our financial resources. We maintain a prudent maturity profile, with diverse sources of funding, and a conservative capital position throughout the cycle
- Each of our businesses is a specialist in its own niche market, driven by a strong customer led proposition and long-term client relationships
- We apply our lending criteria consistently at all stages in the financial cycle which protects the quality and returns of our lending while providing continuity of service for our clients
- Our lending is predominantly secured, with conservative loan to value ratios, small loan sizes and short maturities
