Capital One Healthcare’s Corporate Finance group has been named the No. 1 lead arranger for healthcare leveraged loans up to $1 billion, per Thomson Reuters.

Capital One Healthcare closed 140 transactions in 2017.

Investors benefited from liquidity in 2017 in what was “an exceptional year for the leveraged loan market,” said Al Aria, senior managing director at Capital One Healthcare Corporate Finance.

“Our ability to capitalize on these excellent market conditions is a testament to the breadth of our products and the depth of our expertise,” he said.

The seniors housing and care space continues to have uncertainty, although the team had a “very productive year, which we attribute primarily to our newly introduced single sales force model,” according to Jim Seymour, Senior Managing Director of Capital One Healthcare’s Real Estate team.

“Our team now represents all Capital One debt product offerings — balance sheet, Fannie Mae, Freddie Mac, and HUD — enabling us to better serve our clients,” he said.
