Powering the next
generation of finance

Faes & Co is an investment firm that actively builds and invests in technology-enabled direct lending businesses, that are ‘powering the next generation of finance’.

Our flagship private credit fund, the Faes & Co Income Fund, invests in the proprietary asset-backed dealflow originated by our group; specifically from our group company, F2 Finance, which is a specialist real estate bridging finance lender in the United States.

Christian Faes co-founded LendInvest in 2008, and built it into a leading financial technology company that is now one of the largest non-bank mortgage lenders in the United Kingdom. LendInvest successfully listed on the London Stock Exchange in 2021 and has over £3.7 billion in funds under management.

Our group has also been involved with building the largest short-term mortgage lender in Ireland, Onate; and invested in a number of fintech-related businesses.

We have significant experience with building and scaling technology-driven financial services companies and tapping into an unrivaled breadth of capital globally - including launching and managing various funds, online marketplace platforms, private bond programs, listed retail bonds, warehouse lines, and rated public securitizations.

We also founded the Fintech Founders group and are involved with various initiatives that support entrepreneurs in the financial services sector.
