Asset-backed lending is vital for financing the global economy, supporting the production, distribution and consumption of essential goods & services.
SABRE, which stands for Structured Asset Backed Real Estate, is a key component of our Global Financial Markets practice. Known for its market leadership and innovative, solution-driven approach, the team provides a diverse range of financing products and solutions, all backed by tangible assets. In an environment of unpredictable markets, geopolitical instability, and trade tensions, asset-backed lending plays an increasingly vital role in supporting the everyday economy. It underpins the production, distribution, and consumption of goods and services that directly impact people’s daily lives.
