Building innovative structures to fund new asset classes

The Principals at Thales Structured Finance LLC are experienced in identifying and bringing new asset classes to market. We understand how retail financing options can unleash market adoption of emerging technologies, and we design retail financial products that, in essence, match the periodic value delivered by these technologies.

​

Thales also specializes in identifying investors with an appetite for esoteric asset classes, and establishing fund structures designed to achieve market clearing yields - allowing companies to bring emerging technologies to market in an accelerated manner.

​

Though our institutional experience spans over $4 billion in structured finance transactions, and upwards of $22 billion in M&A and portfolio acquisition experience, we pride ourselves on establishing and capitalizing emerging technology funds with inaugural deal sizes.
