Our capital structuring products are designed to improve the balance sheet or income statement of a corporation. The principal products are partnership finance, preferred or preference stock, hybrid securities and investment funds. The issuers of these products will obtain EITHER LOW COST EQUITY OR DEBT WHILE THE INVESTOR ACQUIRES low risk and sometimes tax efficient investment income. Investors may well come from a different jurisdiction than the issuer, and the transactions are privately placed in order to provide greater flexibility to both parties should circumstances change. Asset Finance provides services to lessors and lessees of major pieces or pools of equipment globally ($50 million or more). Since many jurisdictions in the world provide incentives to owners of equipment to acquire new or used assets, users of equipment can gain financial benefit in terms of a lower lease rate if they subject these assets to a lease. Due to the acceleration of depreciation for tax purposes, the owner of the equipment is prepared to reduce the rental. By making an assumption about the cost of purchasing the equipment at the end of the lease, the lessee can calculate the net present value of the benefit which is being passed.
