MV Credit’s Harry Elliott is Named Fund Management “Rising Star”

Elliott works in the Fund Optimisation and Investor Solutions team at MV Credit. The team covers investor activity and business development, and aims to enhance risk-adjusted returns through active debt management (subscription and NAV facilities).

Elliott has taken the lead in arranging subscription facilities, and has negotiated and executed over €700m in financing facilities for MV Credit funds. He also manages NAV facilities for the funds on an ongoing basis.
“Harry proactively sources innovative financing solutions to suit the needs of investors,” added Yusuf. “He has a keen understanding of the fund finance industry and keeps up to date with innovations, sharing his knowledge with the wider team. For instance, Harry has recently been researching ESG-linked subscription facilities and looking at ways to implement these for our funds.”
