Solutus is pleased to announce that Fitch Ratings has affirmed its CPS2- Commercial Primary Servicer rating, with the outlook revised from stable to positive.
The rating reflects Solutus’ servicing capability, governance framework and operational resilience. In particular, Fitch highlighted the firm’s accumulated operating history, growth in assets under management, continued investment in systems and the strengthening of its loan servicing team.
Portfolio growth and European footprint
Since May 2023, assets under management increased by 22%, from £7.7 billion to £9.4 billion as at June 2025. Over the same period, the number of loans under management rose by 19%, from 111 to 132.
This growth reflects increasing client demand for experienced loan servicing capability and Solutus’ ability to manage larger and more complex portfolios across multiple jurisdictions.
The portfolio includes loans secured on assets across the UK and continental Europe, supported by teams based in the UK, France and Germany.
Investment in servicing infrastructure
In January 2025, Solutus implemented a new servicing system providing a platform for loan administration, portfolio monitoring and reporting. The system was selected primarily for its scalability and its ability to process more complex loan calculations, supporting efficiency and enhanced reporting capabilities in a cost-effective manner.
Given the recent implementation, Fitch Ratings has applied conservative scores to the relevant assessment areas pending further operating history across additional review periods. The system has already enhanced processing capability and provides a stronger operational foundation for managing increasing portfolio complexity over time.
Experience and operational capability
Founded in 2010, and acting as loan servicer for commercial real estate-backed loans since May 2014, Solutus has built a long-standing track record in loan administration and portfolio management across multiple European jurisdictions.
The accumulation of additional operating history since Fitch Ratings’ previous full review in October 2023 contributed to an upward revision in the relevant company experience score.
In parallel, Solutus has continued to strengthen its loan servicing team. As at June 2025, the firm employed 16 permanent primary servicing staff, compared with seven at end-May 2023. Average industry experience across the team increased to approximately 5.8 years, up from 1.5 years at the time of Fitch’s previous full review. This increase in depth and experience contributed to an improvement in Fitch’s assessment of operational staff capability.
Together, this experience and continued investment in systems, controls and people were reflected in Solutus retaining its CPS2 Commercial Primary Servicer rating, with the Outlook revised to Positive.
Further information on Fitch’s assessment is available on the Fitch Ratings website.
Looking ahead
With assets under management now exceeding £9 billion, Solutus remains focused on disciplined growth, operational resilience and consistent service delivery for clients across the UK and continental Europe.
