Osman Rankin – Partner

Osman has been a debt capital adviser in the banking and development industry for over 26 years – 10 years at UBS and 16 years as an independent adviser. Having spent ten years as an adviser mainly at industry leader John Charcol, Osman joined UBS in 2006. In 2009 he took over running of the UBS mortgage desk in the UK.  Under Osman’s leadership the desk grew from two to a team of twelve. UBS went on to become the 13th largest lender in the UK, according to Council of Mortgage lenders data in 2012 and 2013, which is unprecedented for a private bank. This led to the desk winning the much-coveted prize of Best Private Bank at the 2013  Mortgage Strategy awards.
After ten years of handling some of the most complex mortgage deals the London market has seen, Osman left UBS to become independent. Osman has spent the last seven years advising on renewable projects, and raising debt and equity for projects across renewables, energy transition and industrial decarbonisation.
