Apollo’s Atlas Facing $1.1 Billion Potential Hit on Collapse of UK’s MFS | Company Business News
UK mortgage firm Market Financial Solutions collapsed in February. Administrators now say Atlas SP Partners, Apollo's structured-credit arm, may lose up to £860 million ($1.1 billion). Two MFS units owe Atlas about £970 million, though it may recover £107 million to £200 million. If you lend, invest, or bank with structured-credit funds, check how exposed they are to insolvent borrowers and ask questions early.
Key Statutory Highlights
- Atlas SP Partners, the structured-credit arm of Apollo Global Management, faces a possible loss of as much as £860 million ($1.1 billion) from the collapse of UK mortgage firm Market Financial Solutions.
- Two MFS entities, Amber Bridging Ltd. and Zircon Bridging Ltd., together owe Atlas about £970 million, and administrators estimate Atlas may recover only £107 million to £200 million.
- Creditors have backed a worldwide freeze on MFS chief executive Paresh Raja's assets and have alleged widespread fraud at the firm.
Actionable Advice for Taxpayers / Founders:If you invest in structured-credit or private-credit funds, ask your adviser how much exposure they carry to troubled UK property lenders and whether that risk is clearly disclosed to you, before you commit more money.
