Milan, 16 September, 2021 - Cuvée, the innovative multi-originator platform managing UTP (Unlikely to Pay) loans in the real estate sector, further expands its assets under management thanks to a €59 million contribution from AMCO, Banco Desio and another leading Italian banking institution in favor of Back2Bonis Fund.

The total amount of loans under management thus reaches more than €1 billion, confirming its leadership in the Italian market.

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 credits with underlying real estate leases.

The Fund allows participants to benefit from the potential recovery of the files' value through the valuation of the shares held in the fund itself. It also facilitates the turnaround process for debtor companies, with new financing from the Fund, allowing a proactive management of credits and the underlying assets.
