Hoist Finance has completed the acquisition of Azzurro Associates, a UK-based specialist in SME NPLs with a portfolio of around £200 million. First announced in February, the deal now translates into a tangible strengthening of the group’s position in one of Europe’s most dynamic credit markets.
This is not just about adding assets: the transaction also brings a well-established servicing platform and targeted expertise in the SME segment, which is becoming increasingly strategic.
