Indianapolis,
IN, USA -- Equities First Holdings, LLC (EFH), a provider of
alternative shareholder financing, celebrates 15 years of success
this month. The vision of founder and CEO Al Christy, Jr., EFH has
successfully completed more than 700 transactions and delivered
nearly $1 billion USD to clients over the past 4 years. Christy
credits his success to hard-won experience, patience, and the
discipline of conforming to his own tested loan and investment
guidelines.
EFH
continues to expand thanks to an investment model that takes
advantage of the natural, organic cycles in the market. Before
launching EFH in 2002, Christy spent years studying market patterns
and using his own funds to test loan and investment strategies. Over
time, he developed a methodology that has continued to yield returns
for EFH and provide low cost capital for clients:
1.
Discipline - Success relies on staying within the boundaries of the
EFH model. EFH applies its own rules and guidelines tested over time,
and does not deviate from the model.
2.
Integrity - EFH is committed to always doing the right thing the
right way. That commitment continues to serve the firm and its
clients in an industry under close scrutiny by regulatory agencies,
and was the genesis for EFH's mantra - a higher level of lending.
3.
Patience - Success takes time. Since the market must be allowed to
complete its natural cycle in order for reward to follow risk, EFH
builds patience into the terms of its deals to help maximize returns
and success.
"Securities-based
lending is not a new or untested concept," said Christy. "It
is a long-standing financial tool used by companies, governments, and
financial institutions every day. And while securities-based lending
may be offered by financial planners, investment advisers, banks, and
others as a viable option for clients to raise capital, very few
financial institutions, including large commercial banks, can offer
non-recourse features or loans with a low cost of funds. We have a
successful track record because we live and breathe equities-based
lending every day."
EFH
has been able to expand its business model to eight markets. Christy
has determined that market performance and the motivations of people
who drive those markets is universal, and the same practices and
disciplines that are successful in the U.S. are successful overseas
as well.
