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."
