Exclusive Access to Asia's Most Promising Private Credit Segment
I wanted to personally share an exciting development that I believe will be of significant interest to you and your investment strategy in Asia.
Why I'm Launching GMG Advisory
After years of building Global Mortgage Group and executing over $400 million in high-value bridging finance deals the past 2 years in Singapore alone, I've identified a massive gap in Asia's financing landscape that presents exceptional opportunities for sophisticated investors like yourself.
THE MIDDLE MARKET
Companies needing $15-100 million in capital—represents the backbone of Asia's growth story. Yet these businesses consistently face limited access to appropriately structured financing. They're too large for traditional SME lending but below the scale that attracts major institutional project finance.
This is exactly where I see the greatest opportunity for our clients.
Bringing Wall Street Standards to Asia's Middle Market
My experience in senior investment banking roles at the world’s largest investment banks taught me that institutional-grade execution and analytical frameworks can unlock extraordinary value. I'm now applying these same rigorous standards—typically reserved for hundred million transactions—to the $15-100 million segment through GMG Advisory, a sub-division of Global Mortgage Group.
"The middle market is the backbone of Asia's growth, yet it continues to face limited access to appropriately structured financing. By focusing on the $15–100 million range, and leveraging both our real estate expertise and my global investment banking experience, we are strategically positioned to help dynamic businesses unlock capital, accelerate expansion, and capture new market opportunities."
Beyond Real Estate: A Diversified Approach That Makes Sense
While we've built our reputation on real estate expertise, GMG Advisoryexpands strategically into opportunities where real estate remains a vital component. Many of Asia's most dynamic growth opportunities maintain real estate elements through collateral structures, mixed-use developments, or project-linked assets.
As I noted in our recent press release: "While GMG Advisory remains rooted in its strong real estate focus, the firm is increasingly identifying opportunities across other industries. Many of these opportunities maintain a real estate component—whether through collateral structures, mixed-use development, or project-linked assets—highlighting the interconnected nature of financing in Asia's evolving growth landscape."
This approach provides the portfolio diversification that I know many of you seek, while maintaining the tangible asset backing that has served our clients well.
Why This Opportunity Is Perfectly Timed
Asia's mid-market financing needs are exploding. "Asia's mid-market financing needs are expected to grow significantly as companies scale to meet increasing domestic demand and expand into international markets."
Meanwhile, traditional banks continue tightening credit standards across the region. This creates a perfect storm of opportunity for alternative capital providers who can offer sophisticated structuring and execution.
What This Means for Your Portfolio
For our family office and private banking clients, GMG Advisory offers several compelling advantages:
Institutional-Grade Due Diligence: I'm applying the same analytical rigor I used at major investment banks to every transaction—enhanced due diligence and risk assessment that this segment has historically lacked.
Flexible Structuring: We create tailored financing strategies that align with your specific risk profiles and return requirements—the kind of sophisticated structuring you expect.
Optimal Scale: The $15-100 million range is perfect for substantial portfolios—meaningful enough to move the needle, yet manageable enough for thorough analysis and oversight.
Singapore Hub Advantages: Our Singapore base provides optimal regulatory framework and financial infrastructure for accessing pan-Asian opportunities while maintaining international market connectivity.
First-Mover Positioning: With global private credit giants increasingly turning to Asia, early positioning through an established platform with proven investment banking expertise offers significant advantages.
The Market Context You Should Know
While banks still dominate Asian credit markets (79% versus just 33% in the US), this dynamic is shifting rapidly. Asia continues driving over 50% of global GDP growth while public debt markets remain underdeveloped—creating a structural opportunity for private credit solutions.
"We see enormous potential in helping companies that are ready for the next stage of growth but are constrained by limited access to capital. Our heritage in real estate gives us a unique edge, and we're excited to extend that expertise into adjacent opportunities where real estate remains a vital component."
My Team-Building Approach
I'm deliberately constructing a world-class team that combines investment banking protocol from the world’s largest financial institutions with deep local market knowledge. This creates the unique value proposition that our sophisticated clients deserve—institutional-grade execution without bureaucratic constraints.
Next Steps for Interested Clients
If you're interested in exploring how GMG Advisory can enhance your Asian investment strategy, I'd welcome a direct conversation about specific opportunities and how they might fit your portfolio objectives.
Given our existing relationship and your investment sophistication, you'll have priority access to our deal flow and structuring capabilities.
I'm always available for a direct conversation about how these opportunities might align with your investment goals.
Best regards,
Donald Klip Founder, Global Mortgage Group & GMG Advisory
P.S. As always, I appreciate your continued trust in our platform. GMG Advisory represents the natural evolution of our relationship—bringing institutional-grade private credit opportunities to the clients who have supported our growth in the real estate financing space.

Who Uses International Bridging Loans?
Our global bridging finance solutions serve diverse international clients:
International Property Investors - Secure investment properties quickly across multiple countries
Chain Buyers - Purchase new properties before selling existing homes internationally
Property Developers - Fund land acquisitions and development projects with speed
Auction Buyers - Meet tight auction payment deadlines with fast financing

Corporate Relocations - Bridge housing needs during international business moves
A lucrative investment property appears at a London auction with a 28-day completion requirement. London bridging finance enables you to meet the deadline and secure the deal before traditional mortgage approval would be possible.
Scenario 2: The Australian Development Project
You're a developer who's identified prime land in Sydney's growing Western suburbs but need immediate capital. Sydney bridge financing provides the speed required to close before competing buyers, with refinancing to traditional development finance later.
Scenario 3: The American Renovation Flip
You've found an undervalued property in Miami requiring extensive renovations. Miami bridging loans fund both the purchase and renovation costs, with repayment upon the improved property's sale at significant profit.
Scenario 4: The Canadian Portfolio Expansion
As a landlord with equity in Toronto properties, you want to acquire cash-flowing rentals in Vancouver without selling Eastern assets. Canadian bridge loans unlock your equity for new investments while maintaining your existing portfolio.
Scenario 5: The Cross-Border Chain
You're relocating from Hong Kong to Australia and need to purchase a Sydney home before selling your Hong Kong apartment. International bridging finance eliminates timing stress and prevents temporary housing arrangements.
Scenario 6: The Thai Investment Opportunity
A Bangkok condo in a prime location becomes available at a distressed price requiring immediate purchase. Thailand bridge loans provide fast capital to secure the undervalued asset.
Scenario 7: The Irish Development Flip
You've identified a Dublin property requiring conversion from commercial to residential use. Ireland bridging finance funds acquisition and planning costs while you secure development permissions and long-term finance.
Bridging Loan Requirements
While each country has specific requirements, typical international bridge loan qualifications include:
Property Requirements:
Clear property title and ownership
Marketable property with good resale potential
Professional property valuation from recognized valuers
Adequate equity or deposit (typically 20-40% depending on country)
Suitable property type (residential, commercial, or development)
1. Initial Consultation (Day 1) Contact our global bridging finance specialists to discuss your requirements, property details, target country, and timing needs.
2. Fast Assessment (Days 1-2) We evaluate your situation, property location, and exit strategy to structure optimal international bridging finance terms.

You bought an Australian property 5-10 years ago. Sydney, Melbourne, Brisbane, Perth, Adelaide, or the Gold Coast. You may have even paid cash because banks wouldn't finance foreign buyers.
Why Unlocking Australian Property Equity Makes Financial Sense
That property has appreciated 40–80% depending on the city and timing. Your $650,000 apartment is now worth $1.1 million. Your $650,000 apartment is now worth $1.1 million. Your $800,000 house trades at $1.4 million. You're sitting on AUD $300,000 to $2,000,000 in equity, earning 0% return.
Meanwhile, you have business opportunities requiring capital or investment, with timing windows closing.
Your Australian equity can solve all of this—without selling the property by tapping your home equity for cash!
THE REALITY OF YOUR EQUITY POSITION
Quick snapshot of what foreign nationals who purchased 2015-2020 have built:
ADELAIDE: Steady performers with $300K-$450K equity built
=> You can typically borrow 60-75% of current property value.
=> Example: Property worth $1.2M = borrow up to $900K.
HOW BRIDGING FINANCE WORKS FOR FOREIGN NATIONALS
Short-term loan (3-24 months) secured against your property.
=> Key differences from banks:
NO Australian income or credit verification required. NO residency requirements (you can be anywhere). NO Australian tax returns needed, NO complex documentation.
SPEED: 6-10 business days from application to funds in your account.
RATES: 8-12% per annum (yes, higher than banks - but banks won't lend to you at all).
AMOUNT: Up to 75% of property value.

WHAT OUR CLIENTS ACTUALLY DO WITH FUNDS
=> Singapore business owner:Borrowed $650K against Sydney apartment, expanded factory for new contract, generated $280K additional profit in year one.
=> Hong Kong developer: Borrowed $2.4M against three Melbourne properties, acquired distressed Hong Kong commercial property 30% below market, sold for $1.8M profit
=> Malaysian family: Borrowed $400K against Brisbane house for son's medical school, avoided liquidating income-producing Malaysian properties.
=> Indonesian business owner: Borrowed $400K against Perth property, consolidated 18-24% business debt to 11% bridging loan, saved $35K in first year.
REAL NUMBERS: WHAT IT ACTUALLY COSTS
=> Example:
Borrow $500,000 for 12 months at 10.5% interest
Interest cost: $52,500
Establishment fee (2%): $10,000
Legal and valuation: $2,000
TOTAL COST: $64,500
=> Compare to:
Missing business opportunity worth $200K
Continuing to pay 20% on existing debt = $100K annually
The "expensive" 10.5% bridging loan is cheaper than missing the opportunity.

Investing in real estate is one of the most powerful ways to build wealth, and for many Hong Kong investors, the United States stands out as a top destination. With its strong economy, stable property market, and diverse opportunities, the U.S. offers real estate investments that are not only secure but also potentially very profitable. If you are considering how to buy property in USA from Hong Kong, you might be surprised to learn that the process is easier than it seems, especially when you have the right mortgage support.
At Global Mortgage Group we focus on providing our international clients which includes Hong Kong residents, with customized mortgage solutions for U.S. properties. We provide professional guidance and a range of financing options which makes the process of buying US property from Hong Kong a smooth and transparent one.
What is it that Hong Kong investors are into regarding U.S. property?
Hong Kong buyers report to be more and more interested in the U.S. real estate market which is due to:
Strong Growth in Real Estate In the U.S. we see great opportunity in markets like New York, Los Angeles, Miami and Texas which provide rental income as well as capital growth.
Diversification for Hong Kong investors to grow their portfolio beyond local property markets.
Education and which lifestyle many investors are putting money into U.S. properties for their children’s study abroad or for family relocation.
Stable Finance we present to you our range of mortgage solutions for non-U.S. residents which mean that getting a foreign property is easier than ever.
The Process: How to Buy Property in USA from Hong Kong
If you’re wondering how to buy property in USA from Hong Kong, here’s a step-by-step guide:
Determine your goals.
Before you jump into the U.S. real estate market determine what it is you are after is it investment, relocation, or education that brings you in? This will help you in choosing the right location and also with your budget.
Select the appropriate property which is right for you.
Work with experienced real estate agents that have a specialty in international buyers. For Hong Kong investors we see to it that they invest in Los Angeles, New York, Houston, and Miami.
Home loan finance.
This is the area where Global Mortgage Group steps in. We work with non-U.S. residents to get them approved for mortgage loans which we do at competitive rates and terms that we have designed for international buyers.
Comply with legal requirements.
Foreigners do not face any restrictions in the U.S. in terms of property ownership but you will have to get familiar with the legal issues like title transfer, property taxes, and insurance.
Finish the Purchase.
Once funds are secured in place your attorney and agent will take you through contracts, closing costs, and ownership transfer.
The Role of Mortgage Support
For many Hong Kong investors the primary issue is financing. As opposed to full payment at once which is what paying cash upfront is, through a mortgage you may see that they:
Keep cash flow open for other investments.
Access to bigger properties at a lower initial investment.
Benefit from low U.S. interest rates which in many cases are below those in Hong Kong.
At Global Mortgage Group we serve Hong Kong clients in their interaction with US lenders which understand to have in mind the unique requirements of international buyers. We present documentation for non-residents’ which in turn makes the process of mortgage approval a stress free experience.

Ongoing Costs: In your investment plan include insurance, maintenance, and property management fees.

From Donald Klip, Co-founder of Global Mortgage Group
I wanted to personally share an exciting development that I believe will be of significant interest to you and your investment strategy in Asia.
Why I'm Launching GMG Advisory
After years of building Global Mortgage Group and executing over $400 million in high-value bridging finance deals the past 2 years in Singapore alone, I've identified a massive gap in Asia's financing landscape that presents exceptional opportunities for sophisticated investors like yourself.
The middle market—companies needing $15-100 million in capital—represents the backbone of Asia's growth story. Yet these businesses consistently face limited access to appropriately structured financing. They're too large for traditional SME lending but below the scale that attracts major institutional project finance.
This is exactly where I see the greatest opportunity for our clients.
Bringing Wall Street Standards to Asia's Middle Market
My experience in senior investment banking roles at the world’s largest investment banks taught me that institutional-grade execution and analytical frameworks can unlock extraordinary value. I'm now applying these same rigorous standards—typically reserved for hundred million transactions—to the $15-100 million segment through GMG Advisory, a sub-division of Global Mortgage Group.
"The middle market is the backbone of Asia's growth, yet it continues to face limited access to appropriately structured financing. By focusing on the $15–100 million range, and leveraging both our real estate expertise and my global investment banking experience, we are strategically positioned to help dynamic businesses unlock capital, accelerate expansion, and capture new market opportunities."
Beyond Real Estate: A Diversified Approach That Makes Sense
While we've built our reputation on real estate expertise, GMG Advisory expands strategically into opportunities where real estate remains a vital component. Many of Asia's most dynamic growth opportunities maintain real estate elements through collateral structures, mixed-use developments, or project-linked assets.
As I noted in our recent press release: "While GMG Advisory remains rooted in its strong real estate focus, the firm is increasingly identifying opportunities across other industries. Many of these opportunities maintain a real estate component—whether through collateral structures, mixed-use development, or project-linked assets—highlighting the interconnected nature of financing in Asia's evolving growth landscape."
This approach provides the portfolio diversification that I know many of you seek, while maintaining the tangible asset backing that has served our clients well.
Why This Opportunity Is Perfectly Timed
Asia's mid-market financing needs are exploding. "Asia's mid-market financing needs are expected to grow significantly as companies scale to meet increasing domestic demand and expand into international markets."
Meanwhile, traditional banks continue tightening credit standards across the region. This creates a perfect storm of opportunity for alternative capital providers who can offer sophisticated structuring and execution.
What This Means for Your Portfolio
For our family office and private banking clients, GMG Advisory offers several compelling advantages:
Institutional-Grade Due Diligence: I'm applying the same analytical rigor I used at major investment banks to every transaction—enhanced due diligence and risk assessment that this segment has historically lacked.
Flexible Structuring: We create tailored financing strategies that align with your specific risk profiles and return requirements—the kind of sophisticated structuring you expect.
Optimal Scale: The $15-100 million range is perfect for substantial portfolios—meaningful enough to move the needle, yet manageable enough for thorough analysis and oversight.
Singapore Hub Advantages: Our Singapore base provides optimal regulatory framework and financial infrastructure for accessing pan-Asian opportunities while maintaining international market connectivity.
First-Mover Positioning: With global private credit giants increasingly turning to Asia, early positioning through an established platform with proven investment banking expertise offers significant advantages.
The Market Context You Should Know
While banks still dominate Asian credit markets (79% versus just 33% in the US), this dynamic is shifting rapidly. Asia continues driving over 50% of global GDP growth while public debt markets remain underdeveloped—creating a structural opportunity for private credit solutions.
"We see enormous potential in helping companies that are ready for the next stage of growth but are constrained by limited access to capital. Our heritage in real estate gives us a unique edge, and we're excited to extend that expertise into adjacent opportunities where real estate remains a vital component."
My Team-Building Approach
I'm deliberately constructing a world-class team that combines investment banking protocol from the world’s largest financial institutions with deep local market knowledge. This creates the unique value proposition that our sophisticated clients deserve—institutional-grade execution without bureaucratic constraints.

In today’s rapidly evolving financial landscape, access to fast and flexible capital is more critical than ever. At Global Mortgage Group (GMG), we’ve witnessed a dramatic shift in how sophisticated borrowers—like you—are securing financing. Traditional banks are tightening their lending practices, and as a result, asset-backed bridging loans are becoming a game-changing solution. Read below for real life cases on how we have helped our Singapore clients.
Why Asset-Backed Bridging Loans Matter More Than Ever
As the market dynamics shift, we’re seeing one area of lending explode: asset-backed bridging loans. This sector has grown by an astonishing 429% since 2019, with projections showing it will reach S$825 million by 2025. Why is this happening? Simply put, asset-backed bridging loans are the ideal solution for borrowers who need quick liquidity but don’t want to compromise on the quality of the loan structure.
Traditional banks—paralyzed by regulatory pressures, lengthy approval processes, and a slow-moving credit committee structure—are no longer able to offer the speed and flexibility that sophisticated borrowers require.
But GMG specializes in real estate-backed, asset-backed bridging loans, enabling us to provide fast, flexible, and secure capital to those who need it most. Whether you're an investor chasing a time-sensitive opportunity, a business owner navigating cash flow gaps, or a homeowner seeking urgent liquidity, we’ve designed our platform to meet your needs efficiently.
The Banking Retreat: A Growing Opportunity for Private Credit
While banks are retreating from lending, the demand for private credit is accelerating. In late 2024, major Singaporean banks—including DBS, UOB, and OCBC—slashed their loan growth targets. This move was driven by tighter regulatory measures from the Monetary Authority of Singapore (MAS), including stricter loan-to-value ratios and enhanced stress testing. As banks become increasingly conservative, the need for agile private lenders who can respond quickly and decisively has never been greater.
At GMG, we recognize that for borrowers like you, waiting months for a loan approval simply isn’t an option. When you need capital fast to seize a property investment, manage an urgent business opportunity, or cover unforeseen liquidity needs, asset-backed bridging loans are the solution. Unlike traditional lenders, we understand the urgency and complexity of these needs and can provide quick, decisive financing that banks simply can’t match.
How GMG Can Help Extract Cash from Singapore Real Estate
We’ve helped many clients unlock the value of their properties quickly and efficiently. Here are three real-world scenarios where GMG’s asset-backed bridging loans have proven to be the ideal solution:
1. Business Owner Seeking Liquidity for Expansion
Scenario:
A successful entrepreneur owns a prime residential property in District 9, valued at over S$10 million. The business is experiencing a unique expansion opportunity but requires immediate cash to finalize a deal. The entrepreneur’s current assets are tied up in the property, and traditional banks are unable to approve a loan quickly due to lengthy documentation and approval processes.
How GMG Helps:
Through real estate-backed bridging loans, GMG provides fast liquidity using the property as collateral. We bypass the bureaucratic delays of traditional banks and offer a financing solution that allows the business owner to access up to 70% of the property’s value. The funds can be used immediately for business expansion—whether to secure a new location, purchase equipment, or cover operational costs.
Key Benefits:
Quick access to capital: GMG can structure a loan in just 2–3 weeks, allowing the business owner to act swiftly on expansion opportunities.
Low documentation: Our process is streamlined and focused on understanding the borrower’s needs, not exhaustive paperwork.
Flexibility: The entrepreneur can pay back the loan once the business capitalizes on the expansion, without the need for long-term commitments or complex terms.
2. Property Investor Capitalizing on a Time-Sensitive Deal
Scenario:
A property investor has identified a lucrative off-market property deal but requires a significant cash infusion to close it. The investor owns multiple properties across Singapore, including a portfolio of high-value condos in Orchard and Marina Bay. Traditional banks are taking too long to approve a loan, and the investor risks losing the deal if they don’t act fast.
How GMG Helps:
Using the investor’s property portfolio as collateral, GMG can offer a bridging loan against the equity tied up in the properties. We provide a fast-track financing solution that allows the investor to close the deal in a timely manner, potentially within 2–3 weeks. Once the property deal is secured, the investor can repay the loan using the returns from the new property acquisition or refinancing options.
Key Benefits:
Rapid financing: Our streamlined process means the investor can access the funds needed to close the deal within weeks, avoiding missed opportunities.
Multiple properties leveraged: GMG can structure a loan that pulls equity from a variety of assets, optimizing the borrowing potential.
Short-term commitment: The loan is designed to be repaid quickly once the property deal generates returns, giving the investor the flexibility to manage cash flow.
3. Homeowner Releasing Equity for Personal or Family Use
Scenario:
A high-net-worth individual owns a luxury home in Sentosa Cove worth over S$20 million. The homeowner needs immediate liquidity to cover unexpected company expenses from one of his overseas companies. However, the homeowner doesn't want to sell the property and is unable to secure a traditional loan quickly enough to cover the expenses.
How GMG Helps:
GMG offers a home equity release solution, using the Sentosa Cove property as collateral. By securing a bridging loan against the home, the homeowner can extract the necessary funds without the need to sell the asset or go through prolonged bank approval processes. The funds are made available quickly, ensuring the homeowner can meet his company’s financial needs.
Key Benefits:
No need to sell assets: The homeowner can access liquidity without parting with their valuable property.
Immediate cash flow: GMG’s quick approval process ensures that funds are available as soon as needed, giving peace of mind during stressful times.
Flexible repayment: The loan can be structured to allow for repayment once the medical situation is resolved, without long-term financial strain.
The GMG Difference: Speed, Flexibility, and Relationships
At GMG, our expertise in real estate-backed bridging loans sets us apart. We don’t operate like traditional banks, which often get bogged down by endless documentation and lengthy approval processes. Instead, we focus on building relationships first, ensuring we understand your needs and providing the most efficient solutions available.
Where traditional banks require 8–12 weeks for approval, we can often provide a solution in just 2–3 weeks. This speed is critical when it comes to seizing time-sensitive opportunities, whether in real estate or business. In an environment where speed and certainty matter more than ever, we’re proud to offer you the financing solutions that help turn your opportunities into reality.
Looking Ahead: GMG Leading the Way in Private Credit

At GMG, we’re leading the charge in asset-backed bridging loans, setting the standard for speed, flexibility, and client-focused solutions.
