Frequently asked questions
Who runs investment decisions at Dirigo Financial?
Seth J. Wainer serves as Chief Investment Officer and directs the firm's loan origination and portfolio management activities. Amanda R. Lahan, who founded the firm, is Chief Executive Officer. Both are listed on the firm's Form ADV filed with the State of Maine.
What asset class does Dirigo Financial focus on?
The firm concentrates on private real estate bridge lending — short-term mortgage loans secured by first-lien positions on commercial and residential properties. Its public disclosures emphasize asset-backed underwriting rather than credit-score-driven lending, a posture common among private direct lenders operating outside the bank regulatory framework.
Does Dirigo Financial raise outside funds or co-invest?
Dirigo does not raise pooled investment vehicles. The firm originates loans and may bring in co-investors on a deal-by-deal basis, according to its regulatory filings. It does not disclose any institutional limited partner relationships.
What is Dirigo Financial's geographic focus?
The firm's loan portfolio is concentrated in Maine and the broader New England region. Its Portland headquarters positions it within the local property markets it serves, where loan origination relies on regional knowledge of real estate values and borrower networks.
How is Dirigo Financial regulated?
The firm is registered as an investment adviser with the State of Maine, not with the SEC. This registration tier applies to advisers managing regulatory assets below the $150 million federal threshold, consistent with Dirigo's estimated scale.
