Advisers to governments on the programmes that build nations
We help governments and their sovereign partners to design, finance and deliver national programmes: new urban districts, transport corridors, special economic zones and bilateral investment funds.
What we do
We turn a government's intentions into a programme that can be financed
Structure
Financial architecture
We design the vehicles through which a national programme is paid for: infrastructure funds, project companies, export credit, development finance, concessions and public private partnerships. Wherever a project can stand on its own revenues, we structure it without recourse to a sovereign guarantee.
Advise
Counsel to ministries
We sit alongside ministries and sovereign institutions from the first idea to financial close. We bring order to the process, hold it to international standards and give frank advice on decisions that will shape a country for decades.
Assemble
Consortiums and partners
We bring together the developers, operators, financiers and sovereign investors a programme needs, settle how they will work with one another, and remain answerable to the government that has appointed us.
