Owners of Illiquid Assets
$20.7 million 15-month term loan made to an UHNW entrepreneur who needed prompt access to liquidity for a time-sensitive investment.
Referral Source: Head of borrower Family Office
Collateral: Leyster met the financing needs of a discerning collector who had thoughtfully curated a valuable collection of low-production, modern “supercars” by manufacturers including Aston Martin, Ferrari, and Porsche.
Process: Leyster performed thorough yet efficient due diligence. Our third-party expert examined and appraised the fair market value of car collection and we worked with the borrower to select 16 high value cars with an aggregate value of $48 million as collateral. We made arrangements to transport, insure, and store the collateral at a state of the art facility still accessible by the borrower.
Outcome: Borrower successfully completed its time sensitive investment opportunity. We also met the borrower’s goal of maintaining his collection’s integrity during the loan period by developing the optimal storage solution.

Outcome: The borrower was able to use the proceeds of the loan to successfully purchase aviation assets, and the loan was repaid according to its terms.
