Michael Dey leads the team. A senior finance professional and chartered surveyor with over two decades of experience originating, structuring and executing transactions across the debt and equity capital markets. Career foundations were built at institutional platforms spanning insurance-linked asset management, regulated banking and private equity, before moving into independent principal and arranging activity.

The work spans the full credit and investment cycle: origination, underwriting, structuring, execution, portfolio management, and — where required — restructuring and workout. Sectors covered include real estate, energy and renewables, infrastructure, aviation, defence, and corporate finance.

Services

Engagements have spanned the full capital structure and deal lifecycle — from initial origination and structuring through to execution, portfolio management, and where required, restructuring and workout. Counterparties have included sovereign wealth funds, asset managers, insurance companies, private equity, specialist credit funds, family offices, and entrepreneurial developers — all professional and institutional parties.

Discretion is a cornerstone of the practice.
