Case study: Helaba Debt Fund Platform 🚀  In 2021, Helaba set out on a strategic mission to improve credit portfolio management and balance-sheet flexibility. The key objective was clear: implement a systematic and forward-looking approach to portfolio management while expanding the bank’s risk distribution.   Our result, the “Infrastructure Debt Fund I” was closed in a record time of just three months! Helaba retains a significant share of exposures, ensuring high diversification within the funds. This strategy provides attractive economics and flexibility, supports larger loan amounts, and strengthens customer relationships. 💪  For more information, visit the Helaba Debt Funds Platform lnkd.in/ddskzzEY Jens Kuttig Gunnar Rittershaus
