MAYFAIR, U.K. - Nov. 7, 2019 - PRLog -- Union Pacific Capital Maintains Steady Deal Volumes,

With Noted Increase in Securities Backed Lending Transactions.

07 November 2019

The corporate lending market saw a steady profile of deal volumes throughout 2019, fluctuating by less than 5% quarter on quarter, according to the latest analysis of redacted transactions from corporate lending and business advisory firm Union Pacific Capital (UPC) (http://www.unionpacificcapital.com).

UPC explains that our overall transaction volumes rose by 7% in Q3, for long and short term loans, 3% for overdrafts and decreased 2% for revolving credit facilities. Median deal values, have held firm in the quarter.

Of note the securities backed lending team at UPC has been increasingly active this year, has continued to close numerous transactions and provided advisory to stock market listed companies on a global footprint.

Simon Black (mailto:sales@unionpacificcapital.com), Head of Institutional Sales at UPC, commented: "There has been a notable increase in the size of the securities backed lending transactions that we have written, and there is increased demand as the mid-market continues to seek high levels of deal activity. Geopolitical headwinds are certainly a contributing factor and we see a robust future as companies and entrepreneurs 'just get on with it' - doing what they need to do to build and expand great businesses while we allow our borrower clients to access the value of their equity holdings without having to liquidate their position.

The credit markets have tightened up considerably since the introduction and adoption of the Basel lll international regulatory accord with leverage and liquidity safeguards against excessive borrowing stipulating that banks have sufficient liquidity during financial stress. UPC as a direct, privately owned lender with a deep pool of working capital are able to quickly make our own decisions without being bound by restrictive Basel lll protocols.''
