Our Products

Enables an illiquid asset holder to obtain the standby letter of credit required for an Enhancement CPC™ investment (“Letter of Credit”) in reliance upon the high-quality liquid assets (“HQLA”) owned by a second party as the “HQLA Sponsor”.

Indemnified Collateral Adapter™

Operates like a standard Collateral Adapter, except the HQLA Sponsor is indemnified against loss by a participating insurance carrier in the event of an unreimbursed draw of the Letter of Credit; designed for HQLA Sponsors that have a limited investment mandate yet still seek to enhance their portfolio performance
