Old Hill Partners announced the release of a new website, offering the ability for borrowers and investors to learn more about the opportunity in private lending.

Founded in 1996 by former Nomura credit specialist John C. Howe, Old Hill is a private lender taking advantage of two key facets of the current economic environment: the inability of smaller companies to secure proper financing from traditional banking institutions and the inability of investors to generate yield from fixed income investments.

Old Hill's expertise is in the creation of customized, structured transactions tailored to meet the needs of smaller borrowers yet also developed with a keen focus on collateral coverage, due diligence and risk modeling.

Old Hill's primary focus is on transactions with the following characteristics:

• Deals typically less than $25 million, although we are opportunistic and may engage in larger endeavors
• Maturity within 1-4 years
• Carry loan-to-value ("LTV") ratios of 30-85%
• Generally structured with interest rate risk protection and coupons ranging from single digits to mid-teens

Darien, CT-based Old Hill Partners, Inc. is an alternative asset manager focused on asset-based lending transactions with small- and medium-sized businesses.
