ATLAS SP Partners

What ATLAS SP Partners does

ATLAS SP Partners is a global investment firm that provides structured credit and asset-backed finance solutions to specialty finance companies, REITs, financial sponsors, mortgage lenders, and corporate borrowers. Founded in February 2023 as a carve-out of Credit Suisse's Securitized Products Group and majority-owned by Apollo Global Management (with MassMutual as a minority equity partner since April 2024), the firm operates an integrated platform spanning warehouse financing, principal lending, securities repo, acquisition bridge finance, intellectual property financing, and fintech asset/platform financing, alongside capital markets services (public ABS/CMBS/RMBS structuring, term takeout, private placements) and portfolio solutions (securitization program standup, outsourced treasury, asset disposition, capital advisory). Its subsidiary Atlas Warehouse Lending Company (AWLC) serves as a dedicated funding vehicle that has issued more than $2.75 billion in investment-grade senior notes and was recapitalized with $1.3 billion of equity in October 2025 to support a multi-billion-dollar warehouse balance sheet.

The firm covers a broad set of asset classes including residential mortgages (agency, non-agency, NQM, SFR, HELOCs), commercial real estate, consumer and specialty finance (auto, equipment, credit cards, student loans, marketplace lending), transportation assets (aviation, railcars, containers, marine, trucks), and energy/solar, plus esoteric assets such as music royalties, infrastructure (data centers, fiber, telecom), tax liens, and PACE financing. Notable transactions include $886.3M Sunrun residential solar securitization, $900M SunStrong solar ABS (largest solar ABS of 2025), $612M FTAI Aviation inaugural ABS, $750M Maritime Partners deferred draw warehouse, $600M Nexamp distributed energy facility, $1.1B Access Point Financial hospitality securitization, and $2.4B Tamara Finance warehouse facility. The firm maintains a $5 billion strategic collaboration with BNP Paribas and serves more than 200 institutional clients, with $24 billion+ in originated assets since inception.

The business model is institutional B2B, relying exclusively on direct enterprise field sales by senior bankers to C-suite and senior decision-makers at target clients. Revenue is generated through transaction fees on warehouse facilities (typically $100M to $1B+), structuring and underwriting fees on ABS transactions, capital markets advisory fees, and principal investment income from the firm's own capital deployed in warehouse facilities and retained ABS tranches. Pricing is bespoke and negotiated transaction-by-transaction. The firm is operationally global, with a New York headquarters and dedicated regional leadership covering North America, APAC, Australia, the Middle East, and the United Kingdom, and has been recognized with industry awards from Global Capital (Structured Finance Firm of the Year 2026, among others), IFR (Structured Finance House of the Year 2025), SCI Capital Intelligence (ABS Issuer of the Year 2025), Marine Money, and Airline Economics.

• CIFC Asset Management: Pure-play CLO and structured credit manager that structures, issues, and manages CLOs and other ABS products. Closely comparable to ATLAS SP's securitization and CLO management business line.
