Mount Street Group (‘Mount Street’), the leading global third-party loan servicing and credit asset management firm, is pleased to announce that it has received regulatory approval from the Bank of Greece for a strategic partnership with Technical Olympic S.A., the Athens Stock Exchange listed real estate, construction, shipping and investment group. The Joint Venture, which is focused on Greece and Cyprus, has onboarded €33 million of real estate-backed non-performing loans (‘NPL’) in its first month of operation.

The partnership, effected through Technical Olympic’s subsidiary, PFC Premier Finance Corporation Ltd (Cyprus), is aimed at jointly pursuing investment and co-investment NPL opportunities in the real estate, shipping, infrastructure, renewable energy, hospitality and broader SME sectors.

Pursuant to the strategic partnership, Mount Street’s regulated Greek servicer, Mount Street Hellas S.A.M.R.L.C., onboarded its first portfolio under this Joint Venture in December 2021, which comprised corporate real estate-backed, non-performing loan exposures with an aggregate gross book value of over €33 million.

Effective management and servicing of NPLs is a demanding operation and our partnership with Technical Olympic, a highly successful investment firm, is a thorough endorsement of our strong and growing capabilities in this area and region. We look forward to leveraging the combined expertise of this new joint venture in order to grow the portfolio under management and maximise the potential of the underlying assets and exposures.”
