Yeah they’re a debt collector, but it’s not as if they’ll be only dealing with their own portfolios - there will surely be others?

Spoke to the NPLs specialist at my shop & he said that Arrow is a big player in the secured & unsecured NPLs space. I’ve heard that they pay fairly well too, given that they’re trying to grow their fund management business. 

Any thoughts from anyone else?

They have a sizable and growing third party NPL servicing platform in addition to their own purchased NPLs.

The question is do you want to be a retail NPL buyer or not - and not NPL like defaulted corporate loans or even SMEs, this is like retail shit. They go after people with outstanding cell phone bills and utility bills and credit card debt. That’s their bread and butter.

There is no corporate finance involved in this. It’s fairly quantitative with modeling out loss rates, recovery rates for pools of assets. More like structured finance if anything. But you’re not going to be looking at a single business.

 

Arrow have diversified away from doing solely NPLs and have recently hired some big names in the real estate and private credit worlds.
