About Us
Founded in 2018, Del Gatto Finance Group is the first
asset management company dedicated to providing
financing to the global diamond and jewelry industry.
To date, Del Gatto has financed over 350 companies worldwide, including some of the industry's most influential stakeholders.
We offer fast and flexible credit through inventory repurchase agreements, securing physical possession and ownership of assets before financing. This approach ensures the flexibility our borrowers need while providing the security our investors require.
Industry Expertise & Leadership
Led by co-founder and CEO Christopher Del Gatto, a Graduate Gemologist and former diamond cutter with over 30 years of industry experience, our team offers unparalleled expertise in both the diamond and financial sectors. With deep industry knowledge and a vast global network, we are able to accurately assess the intrinsic value of the assets we finance, enabling us to offer optimal loan-to-value ratios.
Strategy
Sustainability
Our rigorous lending approach includes comprehensive research and evaluation of prospective borrowers and their collateral, meticulously carried out by our Origination & Valuation team.
We believe that exemplary corporate governance and social responsibility are not only ethical imperatives but also crucial for generating long-term value—for both our firm and the companies in our industry. Our goal is to benefit all stakeholders in the diamond trade and the communities they serve.
During our due diligence process, we assess both the governance practices and the sustainability of a borrower’s business model.
We also work closely with management to implement improvements and establish best-in-class business practices. Additionally, we maintain an ongoing dialogue with all key stakeholders—not just in our business dealings but across the industry—to ensure we continually identify and address critical issues shaping the future of our trade.
