Loren helps a full spectrum of market participants in navigating sophisticated asset-backed transactions in a broad range of asset classes, such as:
Digital infrastructure and telecommunications asset securitization, including hyperscale and collocation data centers, wireless towers, and related assets
Energy securitization, traditional and renewable

Supply chain finance, including US and cross-border receivables securitization, factoring, and related transactions
Forging a path at the forefront of esoteric asset securitization, Loren has pioneered a number of new asset classes and transaction structures, including the “first ever” securitizations of hyperscale and collocation data centers and wireless tower ground leases, and the “first ever” securitization of proven developed producing (PDP) oil & gas wells in a “master trust” structure.

Structured investments in future revenue streams of portfolio companies for private equity sponsor
