Bespoke Syndicated Loan Solutions for Investment Banks
Commercial banks’ cautious approach amid the current market conditions has resulted in a rapid increase in demand for syndicated loans. This has also been driven by rating downgrades by international rating agencies and small and medium-size corporates looking for alternative solutions such as syndicate financing.
At Acuity Knowledge Partners, we help investment banks and advisory firms provide bespoke solutions to their clients. Our team of experts has extensive experience in areas such as loan restructuring, deal origination support, loan syndication and trading, credit monitoring, loan modifications, infrastructure finance and subordinated debt. Our syndicated loan solutions enable our customers to win more client mandates and improve their margins.
