In the following paragraph, I'd like to ask if the " without a feel for ...in making those types of loans." is taking about the person who want to invest in the financial services company or describing the financial services company in which the person is investing?
"You shouldn't invest in any financial services company without a feel for the types of loans it makes and without confidence that the firm has plenty of experience in making those types of loans."
"You shouldn't invest in any financial services company without a feel for the types of loans it makes and without confidence that the firm has plenty of experience in making those types of loans."

Hello Jordani. I think grammatically it could be either. Logically, it is likely that it is talking about the person making the investment.

Hello Jordani.
I think grammatically it could be either. Logically, it is likely that it is talking about the person making the investment.
If you wanted to be clear that you were talking about the company, say '...company lacking a feel...'
I'd also make some changes: I'd prefer 'type of loan'
