What We Offer

Financial Services

Trade finance, letters of credit and structured funding that turn commodity deals and energy projects into reality.

Overview

Financial services sit at the centre of everything we do: without the right instrument at the right moment, a good trade or a viable project simply does not happen. We arrange the credit, the guarantees and the project capital that keep cargoes moving and energy assets developing.

Our team structures documentary credits, standby letters of credit, bank guarantees, receivables and inventory finance, pre-export and prepayment facilities, and longer-tenor project and mezzanine capital for energy infrastructure.

We work with a network of banks, funds, insurers and export credit agencies, and we prepare the submission on your behalf so the credit committee sees a complete, well-evidenced file the first time.

We structure the financial instruments that make commodity trades and energy projects possible, from short-term trade finance to longer structured funding arrangements. Our goal is to remove capital as the bottleneck between opportunity and execution.
