About us

Our story

Arbour Partners is an FCA-regulated advisory group founded in 2010 to bring new assets and new solutions for investors and to provide independent insight to the alternative capital markets. 

 

Our market ethos is to be “a sell-side firm with a buy-side mentality”.  Emerging asset types we have supported as advisor and arranger such as direct lending, sponsorless corporate capital and SME credit platforms have since become proven, sustainable options for our global investor network.

 

As we enter our second decade as a team, the private markets are bigger and wider than when we started. But still information is opaque and interests always need to be aligned for investors in the market. Arbour’s experienced and committed team will be working to help ensure that our clients benefit from what we are constantly learning and from the global network we are building.
