Europe is a large, fragmented, and disparate banking environment, marked by a large number of banks across countries with various regulatory and legislative frameworks.
In such an environment, being ‘local’ means not only having domestic knowledge and access but also the infrastructure and people that underpin our strategy in each market.
Arrow’s platform structure enables consortium deals and provides deep local expertise. Utilising relevant regulatory licensing from Arrow’s platform can allow a fund to purchase assets where competitors cannot.
The following films reveal our deep-rooted understanding of the local markets in three of our selected regions: Italy, Portugal, and Ireland.
