In addition to our continued diversification of funding, we continue our substantial investment in strengthening our leadership team, developing our IT infrastructure and extending our distribution channels, together creating a solid platform for profitable and sustainable growth.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>Together has enjoyed strong growth in recent years, consolidating its different brands, such as Bridging Finance and Auction Finance in September 2015 to set itself apart as an industry leader in the specialist finance sector, lending to residential customers, property investors, professional landlords and SMEs.<\/p>\n<p>In the 12 months to December 2015 annual new lending stood at \u00a3878 million, with strong demand across all Together&rsquo;s products, including short-term finance, which increased by 65 per cent in 2015. As at December 2015 loan balances exceeded \u00a31.6bn. <\/p>\n<p>The Charles Street securitisation programme, rated Aa2 by Moody&rsquo;s and AA by DBRS, sits alongside Together&rsquo;s \u00a3255m Lakeside securitisation, which was introduced last year, and also the group&rsquo;s capital markets bond issuance of \u00a3300m.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Specialist finance
