Intrum Justitia strengthens its position in the Polish purchased debt market

Intrum Justitia strengthens its presence in the Polish market of acquisition of written-off debt portfolios. The Polish Securities Exchange Commission (Komisji Papierów Wartościowych) has approved Intrum Justitia’s application for establishing an Investment Fund Society (“IFS”) in Poland. According to regulatory changes in Poland, an IFS is important for companies making investments in portfolios of written-off receivables. The Intrum Justitia IFS will manage one or more investment funds, which will invest in different types of portfolios and have different investor structures. The investment funds will issue investment certificates to investors within the Intrum Justitia Group and its partners in order to fund portfolio purchases. Intrum Justitia already is an experienced debt purchaser in the Polish market, having invested in more than 100 portfolios (with about 1 million cases) since 2000. Being a market leader in the debt collection industry in Poland, IFS will create new cases for local collection business and allow Intrum Justitia to further develop its core business in Poland. About purchase of written-off receivables: As an alternative to using Intrum Justitia for the collection of written-off receivables via conventional outsourcing assignments, companies can sell their receivables to Intrum Justitia. This is often a good alternative for companies looking for administrative cost savings and to realize the hidden value of their written-off receivables and thereby accelerate cash flows.
