Gordon Brothers expanded its capital base to more than $1 billion with financing from Canada Pension Plan Investment Board to fuel the continued growth of the firm’s capital offerings and support companies undergoing transformation.

Gordon Brothers has helped lenders, management teams, advisors and investors move forward through change throughout its 119-year history. The firm has embraced a changing environment by innovating and serving its clients. Recently, Gordon Brothers expanded its capital base to more than $1 billion with financing from Canada Pension Plan Investment Board through its subsidiary, CPPIB Credit Investments. This financing will fuel the continued growth of the firm’s capital offerings and global platform, which uniquely leverages the firm’s deep appraisal and disposition expertise combined with disciplined underwriting.

“We’re growing quite rapidly in a market where others are struggling to grow because of the power of our global platform,” Ken Frieze, CEO of Gordon Brothers, says. “We innovate by bringing capital, appraisal and disposition services together and have faster and more integrated decision making because of it.”

Gordon Brothers partners with clients in special situations other lenders may be struggling with and works with borrowers who aren’t sure their potential lending partners understand their industries and businesses. In addition, the firm provides growth financing, distressed
financing, structured transactions and regular financing. The firm has a solid retail history and provides traditional brick-and-mortar
transactions and subscription services to digital commerce to meet borrowers’ needs across its global platform.
