As MagnaStar we want to be a key partner and play a vital role in helping companies realize their growth potential. We unlock value by identifying great opportunities and enhance the performance of our customers.
MagnaStar has been partnering with financial advisors, financial institutions and private equity funds for almost 2 decades, harnessing the power of private market investments for their clients.
We provide bespoke capital solutions to meet the diverse needs of companies, organizations and entrepreneurs. Across all market cycles, we combine credit, equity and corporate expertise to partner where traditional providers cannot.
We also provide non-recourse, non-purpose capital at competitive terms in exchange for equity collateral. The equity becomes part of our portfolio for the financing term, but the borrower retains all beneficial ownership and upside from the asset upon completion of the financing term.
