MT Finance (MTF) has raised up to £50 million from funds managed by Insight Investment.

The company has also secured mezzanine funding from an unnamed UK fund manager.

These new lines further diversify the funding structure of the business that currently includes a £125 million committed forward flow arranged with a global institutional investment manager, as well as almost £100 million from high net worth individuals.
