PRODUCTS AND SERVICES

We meet our clients' needs with tailored strategic advice, and access to a full range of investment banking services. We assist clients in achieving their objectives through capital raising initiatives, mergers and acquisitions advice, private placements, and alternative funding.

Capital Raising

Whether executing an IPO, a debt offering or a leveraged buyout, we offer clients accurate advice, fresh ideas and vast distribution capabilities and investor penetration. To enable clients to mitigate strategic, operational, credit and market risks, we structure and execute public as well as private placement of a variety of securities - equities, debt and related products - and across an array of services - ranging from simple financing to liability management advice, structured finance, hedging and derivatives advice, and all areas of capital structure.

We are committed to providing a wide range of innovative equities and fixed income solutions to investor and issuer clients. .

Mergers and Acquisitions

We provide expert advice to our investing and corporate clients on their strategic issues and transactions, and devise and execute innovative, customized, differentiated, value-added solutions. We excel in transactions including acquisitions, divestitures, mergers, joint ventures, corporate restructurings, recapitalizations, spin-offs, exchange offers and leveraged buyouts.

Private Placements

Our debt and equity expertise and securities distribution teams have access to high-quality investors including hedge funds, LBO funds, private equity funds, mezzanine funds, insurance companies, bank proprietary trading desks, pensions funds, strategic investors and family offices. We use our expertise and contacts to raise our clients' profiles within the institutional investment community and to deliver high-quality private funding to create better pricing, and to promote rapid completion of transactions and results. We customize solutions for our clients to minimize dilution and optimize their capital structure. Often these solutions involve a hybrid of debt and equity.

Alternative Funding

We provide alternative financing solutions to companies, offering creative and quick solutions, eliminating syndication risk for our borrowers through fully underwritten transactions. These solutions are suited for buy-outs, recapitalizations, growth financing and restructurings. We prefer acting as a principal investor, holding sizable positions and playing a leadership role in our investments. Our expertise enables us to assess price risk and invest across the entire capital structure and a broad spectrum of credit risk. We are able fully to underwrite transactions ranging in size from US$5 million to US$30 million.
