Our point of view

This high fragmentation of different types of distressed assets allows us to hone in on and dominate a number of high value niches with strong return profiles.

Arrow has a significant data and tech advantage – 35 million data records

 

Propriety data set + local expertise and data in new geographies + conservative approach to underwriting = consistent underwriting outperformance over 18 years.

  • Proprietary data set of 10m customer accounts and over 35m data records built over 15 years of collection data
  • In-house platforms, with c. €80bn of assets under management provide insight into asset performance to complement analytical approach
  • Centre of excellence in underwriting and analytics in Manchester & London (UK), coupled with specific local in-country expertise to give significant benefit of single country approach
  • Access to credit bureaus (UK & Ire, Netherlands, Italy) and central bank (Portugal) to supplement proprietary data
  • Collections to date at 106% vs original underwriting
  • Forecasted write-offs1 of sub 1.5% vs. €3.8bn2 capital invested since 2010
1. Write-offs are calculated as the shortfall in deal-by-deal lifetime distributions (pre-management fees, carried interest and fund level expenses) vs the investment amount for each portfolio investment – based on Arrow modelled results, using collections to date, future cash flow projections and allocated costs (based on today’s platform).
