About Kingsbury and Partners
Kingsbury and Partners is a private credit and structured finance firm headquartered in Dubai. It describes itself as an independent, British-owned specialist that invests in, structures and syndicates private credit for small-cap, growth-stage businesses in the United States, the United Kingdom, Europe and the Gulf.
The about page names three people: Ben Rockell as Managing Partner, John Hubball as Chief Investment Officer and chairman of its Product and Risk Committee, and Nathan Rockell as Chief Technology Officer. Its offices are at the Dubai World Trade Centre and in Luxembourg. The website gives no founding year or founders, and states no regulatory licence for the firm itself.
The work is split into Allocate, which gives investors access to asset-backed private credit, and Raise, which offers issuers structuring and issuance infrastructure under the name Credify. Its main instrument is the credit linked note, issued through Kingsbury Securitisation Platform SARL, a Luxembourg vehicle introduced in April 2026 and described by the firm as an unregulated securitisation vehicle under Luxembourg's 2004 securitisation law.
In August 2025 the firm published a partnership with ISP Group, a Swiss investment boutique that acts as paying and calculation agent for the notes, alongside note administrator Fundamentals. On 5 May 2026 Kingsbury and Partners and the Saudi platform RiFD announced a partnership in which RiFD supplies securitisation infrastructure and Kingsbury handles deal structuring, investor alignment and execution. Wamda reported that no financial terms were disclosed.
The website reports two senior secured facilities of USD 15 million each for Alt Lending LLC, a US private student loan company, and a USD 7.5 million facility for the UAE lender Aura Finance FZ-LLC. Each was issued as a credit linked note. The dates shown on these pages are inconsistent. No outside investment in Kingsbury and Partners itself was found.
As of October 2026 the home page states assets under administration of more than USD 615 million and more than 30 asset manager and originator clients. These are the firm's own figures.
