What Arrow Global does

Arrow Global is a UK-headquartered, vertically integrated pan-European alternative asset manager specializing in asset-backed private credit and real estate investments. Founded in 2005 in Manchester, the company was publicly listed on the London Stock Exchange (ticker: ARW) until October 2021, when it was taken private by a consortium led by TPG and Fortress Investment Group and now operates under parent entity Sherwood Parentco Limited. Arrow operates 25 local asset management and servicing platforms across eight European geographies (UK, Portugal, Spain, Italy, France, Germany, Benelux, Ireland) and expanded into the Middle East in 2025 with a UAE office.

The platform is structured around three core investment strategies: Arrow Credit Opportunities (ACO) for opportunistic credit and non-performing loans, Arrow Lending Opportunities (ALO) for real estate-backed financing, and Arrow Real Estate Opportunities (AREO) for real estate equity (notably hospitality in Southern Europe). Underlying these strategies is a vertically integrated origination-to-servicing architecture supported by local platforms including Maslow Capital (UK real estate finance), Amitra (Iberian master servicing), Elba (Iberian specialist lending), White Star, Norfin, Vidiaco, and Alleluia (Portugal), and Zenith (Italy). In March 2026, Arrow launched Arrow Global Insurance (AGI), a specialty insurance vertical comprising Toremis Specialty (MGA) and Halldora Re (an A-rated reinsurer), extending into property, casualty, and non-catastrophe specialty lines.

Arrow generates revenue through multiple streams: management fees and carried interest on third-party funds (approximately €125 billion in AUM and €15.2 billion in funds under management as of 2025 results), transaction-based debt purchase and collection revenues, specialty insurance underwriting margin, investment income from direct lending and real estate equity positions, and operational revenue from owned hospitality assets (27 hotels and 12 golf courses in Portugal). The firm serves exclusively institutional clients including sovereign wealth funds, pension funds, and insurance companies, and has secured significant commitments from blue-chip LPs such as ADIA ($400 million in 2024) and CPP Investments.
