South Street Securities Holdings has confirmed the acquisition of 100 per cent of the outstanding equity in Lime Funding, which took place on 28 February 28 2026.
Lime Funding is an asset‑backed commercial paper conduit, designed to make loans to corporate and other institutional borrowers, with funding provided through the issuance of asset‑backed commercial paper to investors.
According to South Street, the commercial paper programme is supported by Sumitomo Mitsui Trust Bank, as the administrative agent and liquidity provider, while GreensLedge Advisors serves as the sub-administrator responsible for overseeing the commercial paper issuance.
Together, South Street, GreensLedge, and Sumitomo Mitsui Trust Bank seek to provide efficient, scalable financing to high‑quality borrowers, while offering investors diversified, short‑term asset‑backed investment opportunities.
James Tabacchi, CEO of South Street Securities Holdings, states: “Integrating Lime Funding into the South Street platform reflects our strategy of building scalable, balance sheet‑efficient funding solutions for our clients.
“By partnering with GreensLedge and Sumitomo, we combine specialised conduit expertise, strong liquidity support, and our own distribution and risk management capabilities to better serve issuers and investors.”
Lime Funding will operate as part of South Street’s broader securities finance and funding platform and is expected to support the continued expansion of South Street’s financing capabilities.
