Alliance Fund Managers
Alliance Fund Managers is a leading regional fund management company which manages two currently investing funds.
Its newest fund - The Merseyside Loan and Equity Fund - provides investments from £50k to £2m in the form of loan, mezzanine and equity finance to established SMEs and will invest over £25m during the next five years. The Fund has been created through money that has returned to MSIF from repayment and realisations from investments made by its previous funds which launched in 1996 and finished investing in 2008. Currently the Fund stands at around £10m with a further £15m estimated to be available through additional returning capital.
AFM also manages the Northwest Small Loans for Business Investment Fund on Merseyside which provides loans from £3k to £50k to to SMEs, including limited companies, sole traders and partnerships. We can provide stand alone finance or as part of a package with banks and other funding providers such as invoice discounters. The product now also includes the retail sector.
In addition, AFM manages the entire investment portfolio for MSIF’s previous Funds collectively known as the Merseyside Special Investment Fund’s Group of Funds – which was one of the largest regional funds in the UK. The portfolio includes a wide range of businesses from large SMEs with multi million turnovers to small businesses run by sole traders and covers a diverse range of sectors.
AFM is actively seeking out new opportunities to manage additional funds throughout the UK.
