Global investment firm Avenue Capital Group is to acquire the entirety of Pollen Street Capital’s interest in Irish development and bridging finance lending platform Castlehaven Finance, for an amount in excess of €250m.
The transaction will result in Pollen Street Capital, the independent alternative asset investment management company, exiting its investment in Castlehaven Finance, which it has held through its credit lending arms, P2P Global Investments PLC and Honeycomb Investment Trust PLC.
Avenue Capital will provide future funding lines to allow the Castlehaven platform to continue to grow.
