Brilliant Solutions has added Portal Portfolio to its lender panel.

Portal Portfolio came to market in November 2010 as a unique secured loan provider, offering a pension-backed produce. It now has a new tranche of independent funding and lends to all qualifying homeowners.

Matthew Arena , Brilliant’s managing director, said: “We believe that secured loans have a robust future as part of the product mix available to intermediaries. This is especially true at a time when so many clients have found that remortgaging is not suitable because of redemption penalties or that the remortgage rate being offered was not in their best interests.
