The total amount of loans under management thus reaches more than €1,1 billion, confirming the leading position in the Italian market.
The Back2Bonis Fund is the first credit fund specialized in Unlikely to Pay real estate loans in Italy and one of the most important in Europe. Within Cuvée platform, AMCO acts as Master and Special Servicer and Prelios Group as Fund Operator, Real Estate Partner and Special Servicer for management of loans with underlying real estate leases.
