Core Business Focus

We are a principal specializing in true/operating leases for long-lived "hard assets" ranging from BB/Ba to investment grade credits. Transaction size ranges from $4MM to $30MM. Our equipment expertise and residual value emphasis allows us to price competitively. Decisions are made by a small group allowing us to approve and close deals quickly. Over 30 years of experience doing deals assures a quick response. Asset types focus on rail, marine, transportation, material handling, intermodal and medical. We do not finance debt, loans, R/E, software or IT equipment. (415) 616-3493
