NCF has completed over 250 player transfer transactions using its proprietary structuring technology
- Player transfer transactions have two distinct hallmarks – (i) they are seasonal with the majority of the activity occurring between June to September and (ii) they represent the acceleration of a senior-secured receivable that typically carries a 12-36 month exposure tenure.
- The investor’s risk assessment is focused on the buying club not paying the subsequent instalments on the contractually agreed dates. Offsetting this collateral risk is the preservation of football creditor status associated with the trade. This enables the obligation to retain super senior security throughout the life of the obligation.
- Pricing on these transactions will vary based upon the underlying credit of the buying club. The current pricing thresholds are between 6.5- 9%.
