Television & Streaming Sector

Senior secured lending is an established component of film and television finance, with studios and specialist financiers utilising contracted receivables, government tax incentives or credits, and distribution commitments as collateral for structured credit facilities.

Why Choose International Film Fund?

Senior Secured, Contract-Backed Private Credit

International Film Fund deploys capital into senior secured facilities backed by contracted film and media receivables. The strategy targets first-lien exposure to legally enforceable payment streams, structured to prioritise capital preservation alongside defined return parameters.

Priority of Capital

Each facility is structured with contractual repayment priority ahead of subordinated creditors and equity participants. Cashflow waterfalls and security packages are designed to ensure senior recovery positioning.

Contractual Cashflow Underwriting

Underwriting is centred on binding third-party obligations, including government tax incentives or credits, distributor minimum guarantees, and structured pre-sale agreements. Capital is deployed against documented receivables rather than speculative performance assumptions.

Disciplined Risk Architecture

Transactions are structured with defined loan-to-value thresholds, collateral assignments, and downside protection mechanisms. Security interests may include receivable pledges, collection account control, and additional credit support where appropriate.

Specialist Origination Platform

The Fund focuses exclusively on receivable-backed credit within the film and media sector. Sector-specific sourcing, structuring, and underwriting capability provide access to opportunities not broadly available within generalist private credit markets.

Institutional Fund Structure

International Film Fund operates through a BVI Approved Fund structure, administered and governed in accordance with applicable regulatory and operational standards. The structure is designed to accommodate professional investors seeking exposure through a regulated offshore vehicle.
