Portfolio Management Services

Equipment Lenders involved in customer financing face the same basic challenge of how to manage leverage and credit risk that lending, leasing and other financial instruments create. Additionally, the issue of how to monetize and then dispose of the hard assets that accompany these portfolios is an ever increasing dilemma for Equipment Lenders to manage.



N-1 Technologies offers a suite of services designed to assist Equipment Lenders to optimize their portfolios by outsourcing some or all of the portfolio management functions to N-1 Capital. Based on our unique financial and equipment expertise, we have developed the following Portfolio Management Services designed to address the needs of our clients:

Portfolio Valuation and Advisory Services
N-1 Capital advises and executes on potential sales of pieces or all of a portfolio. We advise our clients on the current value of both the financial assets (lease/loan streams) and hard assets (equipment) and cultivate prospective buyers that will pay for the inherent value that we uncover. We also assist in the structuring of any sale opportunity to close the transaction. The ability to link the value of the financial assets along with the value of the hard assets in a portfolio is a unique skill that N-1 Capital possesses in a single firm. This valuation methodology enables our clients to view their portfolios in several dimensions, not just one, allowing for different strategies to maximize the value of a portfolio or subset(s) of a portfolio.

Debt/Receivable Optimization
N-1 Capital helps our clients maximize the value of their portfolios by selling associated debt streams that will quickly raise cash and remove risk from their balance sheet. We have numerous direct relationships with debt buyers, from investment grade to distressed situations. Regardless of the quality of the individual customers’ credits, N-1 Capital can bring the appropriate buyer to maximize the value of the financial assets in a portfolio.

Intra-Term Margin Events
Our portfolio Management team has managed more than $5 billion in leased assets. We are very skilled in managing both financial and technological events that create unique situations to re-structure leases in mid-term or prior to lease expiration. This will drive incremental margin or reduce risk in a portfolio. Examples of such events are:


End of Term Management
N-1 Capital will outsource the inventory management and equipment remarketing for all equipment returned at the end of a lease or from default situations. This includes receiving the equipment, auditing (bill back for missing parts), storage, and remarketing services using our direct, retail sales force. In addition, we will also dispose of worthless equipment according to the most recent environmental and legal parameters.
