Bonds
Our capital markets origination and syndication teams can help you with a solutions-based approach to non-bank debt financing in the UK, Europe and the US.
This includes expertise in public Sterling, Euro and US Dollar bond markets as well medium term notes and US Dollar private placements. The teams are aligned across the following disciplines.
Corporate debt capital markets
Our corporate debt capital markets team has built a top-tier European bond franchise with a proven track record in structuring and executing transactions. Our debt market origination and pan-European distribution capabilities provide access to additional sources of liquidity in the Sterling, Euro and US Dollar bond markets and we consistently facilitate capital raisings from £50m to over £1bn.
Financial institutions
Our financial institutions clients include banks and building societies, sovereigns, insurers and specialist funds. The team can provide expert advice on instruments such as hybrid and regulatory capital, structuring and ratings.
Private placement
Some companies need smaller, more flexible amounts of funding. For these, the PP market, including the US, can offer competitively priced, medium to long-term debt financing. As the majority of issuers in this market don’t have public credit ratings, our teams play a vital role in leading PP investors in their credit analysis.
Liability management
Our dedicated liability management team helps corporate and financial institution borrowers with the structuring and execution of debt refinancing and restructuring transactions to help them optimise financial flexibility, capital structure and regulatory capital objectives. These solutions include debt-for-debt exchange offers, cash tender offers and consent solicitations.
US Dollar market
If you’re a corporate and/or financial institution that needs US Dollar products, our broker-dealer entity in the United States, Lloyds Securities Inc (LSI), enables us to deal with US domestic investors on a direct basis rather than using a third-party broker-dealer.
Corporate ratings advisory
Our team provides corporate rating advisory services, which includes support for first-time ratings, ratings defence, support to existing issuers considering corporate actions and in-house analysis of rating implications of new opportunities.
