LONDON, March 2, 2021 /PRNewswire=KYODO JBN/ --

LCM Partners is proud to announce that it has won two Private Debt Investor

Awards for 2020: European Distressed Debt Investor of the Year and Global

Fundraising of the Year.

Private Debt Investor is the publication of record for private debt, tracking

the institutions, the funds and the transactions shaping the world's private

credit markets. Its annual awards are now in their eighth year with winners

selected based on votes received from the publication's readers, including

private debt industry participants and the institutional investor community.

This is LCM's fifth win in the European Distressed Debt category having

previously been successful in 2015, 2016, 2018 and 2019. LCM's flagship

strategy acquires performing, rescheduled and non-performing consumer and SME

loans, and these awards are recognition of the firm's position at the forefront

of the asset class for over 22 years.

In 2020, LCM was fundraising for both its flagship strategy and its more

recently launched specialty finance direct lending strategy. The Global

Fundraising of the Year award acknowledges the firm's achievements in raising

capital from North American, European and Asian institutional investors

including many of the top 300 largest pension funds globally.

Paul Burdell, CEO of LCM Partners, said:

"We are truly humbled by the support we have received from our Limited Partners

over the last 12 months, and are pleased to have won these two Private Debt

Investor awards. We must now do our upmost to reward their faith.

"The banking sector is undergoing unprecedented change due to the low interest

rate environment and regulatory legislation implemented since the global

financial crisis. As Government income support schemes are withdrawn globally

in 2021, the need for greater balance sheet efficiencies will only become more

acute and we expect this to drive large-scale opportunities in the European

consumer and SME loan market. Thanks to the support of our Limited Partners, we

are looking forward to what should be an extremely productive few years ahead."
