The Australian Structured Finance Group (ASF) was established in 1984 to act as a consultant to the Equity and Leverage leasing industry, advising major packaging groups within both the Australian domestic and international finance markets.

A wholly independent Australian owned organisation, the firm specialises in direct marketing to clients, packaging and managing a wide range of asset based structured and project finance facilities.

Financing activities are also undertaken through a variety of specialised entities established to act as "captive vendor" finance companies for major equipment manufacturers and distributors.

ASF's total independence ensures the firm's continued access to the whole financial market and guarantees our complete objectivity in meeting any clients requirements through each of our operating companies.

The Group is a member of the Australian Equipment Lessors Association "AELA" (the finance industry's peak representative body).

ASF's senior management represent some of the most competent and experienced professionals in the leasing and structured finance industry.

Our senior executives have worked extensively in Banking and Finance for a number of years with direct involvement in arranging both domestic and offshore structured lease and debt based facilities up to and exceeding A$100 million. Each has outstanding structuring skills and is highly competent in all forms of financial modelling.

Most have worked closely with many of the leading Tax and Legal advisers in Australia and the Asia-Pacific region in all aspects of transaction structuring and documentation. As a consequence facilities are negotiated professionally and settlements achieved expeditiously.

On "Big Ticket" asset acquisitions, we are able to utilise our structuring skills and industry experience in providing highly competitive funding solutions. Most importantly, we are able to secure the underwriting of major transactions on terms and conditions attractive to our clients.
