D Capital provides private capital solutions, private debt origination, and advisory services to opportunistic institutional investment managers.
“We strive to create innovative and responsible capital solutions with shared prosperity”
Unprecedented Opportunity
We believe that there is a lack of creative financing available to opportunistic investors. Banks no longer have the flexibility to support non-traditional investments – even those involving conservative risk – due to regulatory and capital constraints.
D Capital exists to help investment managers navigate financial market challenges. Aside from providing strategic advice and structured financing solutions, established relationships with creative-minded deal partners managing large balance sheets, provides direct access to growth capital.
Innovative, customized, and opportunistic financing. D Capital - helping to fill the gap with prudent forward-looking ideas.
