Goldman Sachs generates €250m from Celtic Tiger property loan portfolios
The Goldman vehicles, which were the linchpins of its post-Celtic Tiger investment strategy in the Republic, bought up portfolios of loans in 2014 and 2015 from Ulster Bank and Irish Bank Resolution Corporation, a successor of the bust Anglo-Irish Bank and also the Belgian bank KBC.
The three Goldman entities collected €159.1 million in cash repayments last year, their respective accounts show, as well as generating a further €46.7 million in interest payments. In July last year, the entities also sold property-secured loans for €47.55 million. The accounts show that last month, Beltany also agreed the sale of a further €20.9 million worth of loans while Ennis agreed to sell almost €2.7 million of assets.
Goldman originally issued several billion euros of loan notes in 2014 and 2015 to finance the purchase of Irish property loans, but much of this has been paid to investors by cash from Ennis, Liffey and Beltany. Their accounts show that they owed about €470 million to the Goldman-linked entities that issued the notes at the end of 2021.
