Floris Hovingh
Managing Partner NL UK
London

Floris Hovingh is a capital advisory specialist with over 25 years of experience structuring debt and hybrid capital solutions for companies navigating complex capital decisions, from high‑growth platforms to large corporates pursuing balance sheet optimisation.

He founded and led Perella Weinberg’s EMEA Debt Advisory team for 4 years before establishing Streif Capital Partners. He was previously Partner & Founder of Deloitte’s Alternative Capital Solutions practice, which he built and led from 2008 to 2020, where he became a recognised voice of private capital raisings through its evolution to mainstream. Floris began his career in leveraged finance at HBOS and NIBC in London, formative years that gave him an underwriter’s read on credit and a sharp sense of what wins approval.

He brings a decades-long track record executing cross-border transactions (often multi-layered) across the full product spectrum, whether negotiating new capital raises or amending existing debt facilities. In recent years, he has been heavily involved in digital infrastructure capital raisings. Underpinning this is a global network of senior relationships across banks and alternative non-bank capital, built across 25 years and tested through three cycles.

Our approach

More than a process

Raising capital well requires more than running a process. It relies on judgement, credit positioning, market intelligence, competitive tension, disciplined negotiation and timing

Six reinforcing capabilities that converge on one outcome

Judgement

Reading what others miss

Credit positioning

Shaping the story and building the proof points

Market intelligence

Knowing where appetite sits and on which terms

Optimal
outcome

Competitive tension

Building leverage before you need it

Disciplined negotiation

Knowing when to push and when to close

Timing

Where market conditions and momentum converge

Our standards

The standards that are core to our firm

Six values that define how we work and who we are

R

E

I

F
Forward-thinking

How We Add Value

Where our involvement changes your outcome

Our approach is structured and data driven to deliver sharper pricing, more flexible structures shaped around business needs and certainty of execution

Preparation

Structuring the right instrument

Often companies raise the debt they know how to raise. We raise the debt instrument that is right for the situation

Building a credit story lenders believe

A lender who has to work out your credit story will fill the gaps with scepticism. We make sure there are no gaps

Closing the information gap

The borrower stops being the least experienced party in the room

Process

Creating genuine competitive tension

A lender with no competition has no reason to sharpen their pencil. We make sure they always have one

Knowing which terms to fight for

Every borrower has a finite amount of negotiating capital. We know exactly where to spend it

Protecting lender relationships

The lender relationship that survives the deal is worth more than the basis points you saved by pushing too hard

Outcome
and governance

Independent board-level validation

When you advocate for a deal to your board, having an independent senior view that can provide market context and comparables, changes the conversation entirely

Managing the process so the business keeps running

A CFO who spends six months running a debt raise is a CFO who spent six months not running the business. One of those things cannot be outsourced. The other can

Accelerating timeline, reducing risk

A process that drifts costs money. A process that closes on time, in the right window, on the terms agreed, is our only focus.
