How Fasanara is Redefining Private Debt Investing

Francesco Filia Discusses F-TAC and F-ONE Strategies with Andy Thomson of Private Debt Investor.

Private debt discussions often focus on individual strategies like direct lending, but multi-strategy approaches receive less attention. Fasanara Capital’s Tactical Private Credit Fund (F-TAC), launched with $200 million and targeting $500 million, offers a diversified, high-return strategy leveraging fintech-based origination. Expected returns range from 15% to 20% with the application of leverage, a new approach for Fasanara after 13 years of operating mostly leverage-free.

A second fund, F-ONE, expands on this strategy, incorporating digital assets alongside loans and receivables. Both funds cater to investors seeking higher performance, with priority given to existing investors. Additionally, employee participation (10% of total capital) aligns incentives.

Fasanara differentiates itself by using fintech origination rather than traditional banks or private equity. The firm believes this approach offers higher yields with lower risk.
