‘We strive to service emerging and frontier markets-based companies and parastatals that are typically under-served by the City and Wall Street.’
We offer an array of financing and structuring products and services for issuers including but not limited to: arranging private placements; new public bond issuances; liability management mandates; structured finance; project finance; infrastructure and ESG-related funding; and asset re-packaging.
We primarily specialise in mid-market-sized transactions with amounts ranging from US$50m to US$300m, the segment of the debt market which we believe is currently disregarded by the larger banks.
In terms of geography, although the group had historically focused on raising financing in Latin America, and in the Caribbean, it has successfully expanded its offering into Sub-Saharan Africa and Emerging Europe.
Private Credit
We advise EM-based companies and quasi-sovereigns on accessing private financing directly with institutional investors.
These lenders focus on opportunities in private debt issued by corporates and financial institutions that do not have access to traditional sources of financing, require specific financing terms that call for a bespoke product, or are unable to tap their local debt markets.
Debt Capital Markets
We advise and arrange primary market transactions for EM-based corporate and quasi-sovereign issuers in need of external debt financing.
We predominantly specialise in mid-market-sized transactions in both the energy and commodities sectors as well as in the ESG space.
Structured Finance
We advise and arrange structured financing on projects throughout emerging and frontier markets, in a variety of sectors ranging from infrastructure, power and renewable energy.
We also specialise in securitisation by re-packaging illiquid assets into tradeable securities through a special purpose vehicle. These illiquid assets may include claims, promissory notes, bank loans, and trade receivables, among others.
Liability Management
We offer bespoke liability management strategies aimed at reprofiling or restructuring bonded or bilateral external debt.
We advise EM-based issuers interested in debt buybacks, tenders, exchanges and restructurings.
