Adding real value
to private equity
We understand how to structure investments that work in the real world — shaped by first-hand experience in advising clients, managing transactions, and helping businesses through challenging situations. Today, we apply that knowledge to build tailored solutions that support companies across industries like finance, real estate, aviation, and legal disputes.

Sustainability Image
Sustainability
is an opportunity
Capital can serve more than performance.
We believe sustainability is not a cost – it's an investment in longevity. At 3514,
we align financial objectives with long-term environmental and economic
resilience, structuring capital in ways that generate returns while strengthening
the systems around them.
OUR VALUES
Our principles in practice
Prudent
We understand that the principles of responsible investment and sustainability should shape the way we build our target portfolio, providing greater opportunity to contribute to positive impact across multiple business sectors.
Impactful
From an investment perspective, our values guide us to understand an investment's fundamentals from a socioeconomic position. We give value to the contribution an investment has towards the local economy, society, and the environment, as a measure of longevity of investment and an indirect way to reduce unknown risk factors. ESG principles are at the forefront of our considerations, as much an act of social responsibility as a measure of good business.
Ethical
We are committed to working closely and transparently with our trusted partners and stakeholders, and are willing to lead with vision embedded in innovation, insight, and integrity. Our culture originates from a diversity of cultures, a community driven by equality and inclusion. Our target working environment is the one which celebrates not only tenacity and entrepreneurial spirit, but also the well-being of our people.
WHAT WE DO  
Simplifying investments for
consistent returns
Real estate secured
receivables
We invest in receivables backed by high-quality real estate
assets, focusing on recoverability, asset visibility, and
structured exits.
Non-performing and
re-performing receivables
Targeting distressed and restructured credit positions, we
apply recovery strategies that unlock underlying value from
overlooked or impaired portfolios.
Blue-chip secured digital
media receivables
We acquire receivables from established digital media entities
with top-tier counterparties, ensuring high credit quality
and stable yield.
High-liquidity and stable
depreciative asset receivables
From regulated commodities to industrial equipment, we
target receivables secured by assets with transparent pricing
and reliable resale markets.
These programs are designed to meet the funding needs of the local and international market, offering
qualified and institutional investors the opportunity for double-digit returns on a secure portfolio. By
providing higher returns than traditional banking products or bonds, we aim to consistently deliver
exceptional value to our investors and shareholders.
