Investment thesis
Hoist Finance invests in portfolios of non-performing loans to consumers and SMEs, focusing mainly on unsecured and secured asset classes. Investment management is largely centralised at the group level, while loan management is tailored to local market conditions and conducted locally in each market. The company's core business is collecting on its own acquired portfolios rather than servicing third-party portfolios, using a blend of predominantly in-house and some outsourced collection operations.
