In the ever-evolving landscape of finance, innovation plays a crucial role in meeting the demands of modern investors and businesses alike. Athan Attia, founder of Dynamic Investments, is at the forefront of this transformation, particularly in the realm of Private Credit. In this exclusive Q&A, Athan shares his insights on the intersection of FinTech and Private Credit, the future of non-bank financing, and what sets Dynamic Investments apart.
Q: Athan, can you tell us about the inception of Dynamic Investments?
Athan Attia: I think that for anyone who studies finance, the ultimate goal is to get into private equity. My experience at a Forbes Under 30 conference gave me the confidence I needed when I met private bankers from a global institution who informed me that the minimum requirement to access their platform was a $250 million dollar fund.
At the same time, I was already in contact with several residential real estate hedge funds acquiring 50 to 75 properties each month. I realized I was essentially facilitating opportunities for these funds’ clients. They were getting the properties at a discount, capturing the rent revenue and appreciation. The only significant difference was their capital, because I knew the criteria of the homes and how to source deals. We have a property management team to help manage the portfolio.
Q: What inspired you to enter the private credit space?
Athan Attia: While the $350 million dollar fund that was initially announced was part of an evergreen investment vehicle (Dynamic Investments Limited Partners, LP), I was inspired to launch a private credit fund for $100 million after reaching out to a Chief Investment Officer for a state pension. I also had prior interactions with private credit lenders which also influenced me, because I learned different operating models and I saw opportunities for improvements.
I believe a $100 million fund could serve as a strategic entry point for clients looking to diversify their investments.
Q: How does your FinTech platform integrate with your private credit offerings?
Athan Attia: Our FinTech platform is central to our strategy. It streamlines the entire lending process, from the initial application to funding. By utilizing advanced algorithms and data analytics, we can assess creditworthiness more effectively and quickly identify opportunities. This technological integration not only improves efficiency but also provides our clients with real-time insights into their financing options, making it easier for them to make informed decisions.
Q: What unique advantages does your Private Credit Fund I offer to investors?
Athan Attia: We believe our Private Credit Fund I is designed to deliver attractive risk-adjusted returns, with a targeted preferred return. What sets us apart is our disciplined, conservative credit underwriting process, combined with a focus on client solutions. We focus on areas such as direct lending, real assets credit, and special situations, allowing us to navigate various market conditions and capture diverse investment opportunities.
Q: Given the current economic climate, how do you see the future of private credit evolving?
Athan Attia: The demand for private credit is likely to continue growing as businesses seek alternatives to traditional bank financing. Regulatory constraints on banks and the increasing need for flexible financing solutions will drive this trend. I believe that firms that can effectively leverage technology while maintaining rigorous credit standards will thrive. We believe we are well-positioned to capitalize on these shifts, and we’re excited about the future of private credit.
Q: What advice would you give to potential investors considering private credit?
Athan Attia: My advice for potential investors is to prioritize understanding the strategies employed by the fund. I believe we have a clear, well-defined investment approach that aligns with their goals. We have a pipeline of deals and are constantly receiving referrals. We also believe it is crucial to assess risk and position ourselves to navigate various market conditions.
Additionally, we have a board for the fund and established processes for making informed investment decisions. This includes having robust due diligence practices and a strong framework for monitoring investments over time. While we may be early in our journey, we believe that a thoughtful strategy and sound decision-making processes are foundational to achieving success in private credit.
Q: Finally, what excites you most about the journey ahead for Dynamic Investments?
Athan Attia: We are excited about the opportunity to demonstrate to investors and institutions that we can deliver results with the right capital in place. We believe our FinTech platform will be crucial to the future of our firm, enabling us to streamline processes and enhance decision-making. I genuinely look forward to building on the relationships we’ve already started, as collaboration and support are key to our collective success.
