Alantra has been named European Arranger of the Year at the Structured Credit Investor (SCI) Risk Sharing Awards 2025.

This recognition highlights Alantra’s position as the leading independent advisor in the European Structured Risk Transfer (SRT) and securitisation markets and reflects the firm’s continued commitment to supporting financial institutions through innovative, efficient, and client-focused solutions. Alantra’s Financial Institutions Group (FIG) has established itself as a trusted partner across Europe to large financial institutions as well as smaller banks and first-time issuers, helping them to optimise regulatory capital, strengthen balance-sheet resilience, and expand lending capacity through creative and precisely structured transactions. Furthermore, Alantra has demonstrated its ability to leverage local expertise and educate investors to drive the sustainable development of Europe’s SRT market.

In the past twelve months, Alantra’s FIG team has delivered a series of landmark transactions that demonstrate the depth of its expertise and the trust that it has earned among its financial institution clients. Recent transactions include advising Helaba on the €2.3bn synthetic securitisation of corporate exposures, acting as sole arranger and financial advisor to Piraeus Bank on its €1.98bn synthetic STS securitisation of corporate and SME loans, Abanca on the sale of a €60mn re-performing mortgage loan portfolio, advising Santander Consumer Finance on the €700mn securitisation of performing residential mortgages, acting as sole arranger for Nottingham Building Society on its debut £400mn public RMBS, and advising EBN Banco on a forward flow facility for over €300mn of Equity Release Mortgages. Together, these transactions showcase Alantra’s ability to deliver complex and bespoke capital optimisation and funding solutions across jurisdictions, asset classes, and transaction types.

Andrew Jenke, Managing Partner & Head of FIG International at Alantra, said: “We are proud to be recognised as European Arranger of the Year, an award that reflects the strength of our relationships and the quality of our credit solutions advisory work. Over the past year, our team has continued to innovate on behalf of clients, delivering solutions that enhance capital efficiency, unlock lending capacity, and contribute to a more resilient financial system across Europe.”

At Alantra, we remain committed to innovation and driving the development of the European SRT and structured finance markets.”

This milestone reinforces Alantra’s leadership in the structured finance space and underscores the success of its long-term strategy to combine technical expertise, international reach, and an independent client-centric approach. It also reflects the firm’s growing presence in key European markets and its role in driving the evolution of the credit risk-sharing landscape.
