Structured finance

This area is responsible for transactions involving a considerable degree of financial leverage and limited recourse to the originator. Such deals usually arise as a result of industrial or infrastructure capital spending requirements, or of acquisitions of listed or non-listed companies launched inter alia with the backing of institutional investors. Such facilities are often structured in complex fashion, including in terms of contracts and guarantees, in order to maintain the risk profile of the transaction within limits that are acceptable to the banking community. Because of their size, such loans are often syndicated.
