In lending and credit markets that are increasingly difficult to navigate for even the most experienced of sponsors, we provide critical insight in the identification and procurement of the most ideally-suited debt alternatives available from a diverse array of sources, and the expertise to deliver those alternatives to our clients at the lowest available cost of capital.
Deep Analytical and Underwriting Capabilities
In underwriting credit opportunities ranging from individual loan transactions to larger debt issues, we adopt a rigorous analytical approach that focuses on identifying and testing key stressors, and assessing risk and value from each of the counterparty, asset, net present, and residual perspectives. By analysing client opportunities before they go to market in the same manner in which they will be assessed by prospective lenders, we are able to resolve impediments to credit standing before such issues impact the outcome and win the best attainable costing and terms for our clients once an offer is tendered.
Engineering Creative Debt Solutions in a Challenging Environment
Since 2007, global credit markets have been extremely unpredictable and volatile. These adverse conditions and the high degree of constraint exercised by the limited number of capital providers still active in the market mandate a consistently innovative approach to structuring terms and solutions that meet each client’s evolving needs. We draw upon the capabilities of our in-house market analysts to proactively anticipate developments in credit markets before they happen, giving us essential lead time to engineer solutions that fit the market and preserve long-term value when timing is critical.
Intelligent Approach to Risk Management
In structuring debt transactions and leverage architecture from the ground up, we adopt a proactive approach to risk management. In addition to our general preference for lower-leverage operating environments, we employ dynamic financial modeling to creatively structure capital terms and covenants in such a manner as to comprehensively mitigate risk on both sides of the table and promote core stability across the life of a credit transaction. This involves a thorough understanding of each client’s unique circumstances and objectives, and an intense awareness of the interconnected nature of risk, value, and ultimate qualitative and quantitative returns which can only be brought about through our holistic approach to financial advisory.
