Opportunity is to join this collaborative and growing team, and be part of the core team to help build the business.
ABF group makes bespoke private loans backed by hard assets (for e.g. railcars, containers, trucks and chassis, small ticket equipment), financial assets (such as small business loans, trade finance, lender finance, etc.), intellectual property & esoteric assets (like drug royalties, tax credits, insurance commissions, structured settlements), as well as non-core real estate and infrastructure (e.g. cold storage, marinas, data centers and fiber assets, mobile home parks). See ORIX website for further details. ORIX USA has ~1,300 employees, and manages $85bn in balance sheet and 3rd party investor capital, across private credit, private equity and real estate. ABF team is currently deploying the firm’s sizeable balance sheet, and will raise 3rd party capital over time.
