Fasanara launches Ferrari-backed lending platform, Owner’s Circle

Fasanara Capital announced the Fasanara Ferrari Lending Platform to originate and manage loans secured by Ferrari automobiles and introduced the Fasanara Ferrari Strategy: Owner’s Circle, an investor programme developed with Mattioli Automotive Group. The firm said the platform and programme were announced this week.

The platform will combine Fasanara’s private credit operations with Mattioli Automotive Group’s Ferrari market and collector expertise to underwrite secured loans backed by Ferrari cars. Seed capital is expected to come from two existing Fasanara strategies: the ONE Fasanara Multi-Strategy (F-ONE) and the Fasanara Sports Lending Strategy. Fasanara said the loans will be collateralised by the vehicles themselves.

Mattioli Automotive Group will provide operational support across Ferrari ownership, including access to three California dealerships — Ferrari Beverly Hills, Ferrari Westlake and Ferrari Pasadena — and two service centres in Los Angeles. The group also includes the factory-backed racing team Scuderia Corsa and Bacchelli & Villa, a Modena-based Ferrari restoration specialist. Fasanara said those units will support collateral assessment, maintenance and restoration where needed.

Fasanara described the lending model as secured finance with an active value-creation programme for selected cars. Asset management and restoration services will be available through the Mattioli network to support collateral oversight. Fasanara has not disclosed specific lending terms, target returns or the size of the seed capital allocation.

The Owner’s Circle is positioned as an investor-facing programme that offers members curated access to Ferrari-focused experiences. The firm said members will be offered events such as private dinners, scenic drives, collector gatherings and concours events, as well as connections to Ferrari services and the collector community.

Francesco Filia, chief executive of Fasanara Capital, described the platform as combining institutional private credit with a luxury asset class defined by heritage, scarcity and design. Giacomo Mattioli, founder of Mattioli Automotive Group, commented that the partnership aims to provide flexible financing to Ferrari owners while opening investor access to the marque’s collector community. Enzo Mattioli Ferrari, chief executive of Bacchelli & Villa and president of Cavallino Classic, added that the platform links restoration and collector services to the lending programme.

Fasanara said the initiative reflects growth in private credit, rising institutional interest in luxury collectibles and broader geographic distribution of Ferrari ownership. The firm noted that the platform’s results will depend on loan underwriting, collateral valuation and the ability to manage and, if necessary, realise value from financed cars.
