The company described the arrangement as a major milestone, building on nearly ten years of history in consumer lending assets.
Under the partnership, the private credit fund partner is committing up to $500 million to purchase consumer auto receivables procured through a joint venture with Edge Focus.

Over the past year, Edge Focus has expanded its team and capabilities for the auto business, including the addition of an auto-focused team led by Mills and Senior Researcher Michael Andrews.

To date, Edge Focus has supported the origination of over $3 billion in consumer loans.
Edge Focus describes itself as delivering institutional-grade investment opportunities in consumer loans originated by leading lending platforms, in partnership with large private credit funds. The release notes that it is not an offer to sell or a solicitation of an offer to buy securities.
