Context

The partner

Originator specializing in receivables financing for distributors of orthotics, prosthetics and special medical supplies (OPME, the Brazilian acronym) in the private healthcare sector.

The challenge: strengthening the operating structure

Concentration among assignors and obligors, combined with the level of provisions, brought the vehicle’s subordination close to the agreed minimum.

Key decisions

  1. Monitor the portfolio’s credit metrics and improve receivables assignment, collections and provisioning

    Detect deviations early and fix the root cause in the processes, not just the ratio

  2. Model provisioning scenarios and the waterfall across quota classes

    Measure the impact on each class before proposing a solution

  3. Restructure the existing fund, under mandate, to expand senior funding

    More capital, without interrupting origination
