Ralco is a relationship lender which works with banks and institutional capital to deliver you attractive debt terms.
We are a long term partner invested in your profitability and growth.
What We Do
-
We are a relationship lender with a long term focus.
We adopt a progressive, solutions-orientated approach in each scenario.
-
We target delivery of best available funding terms.
We unpack your key drivers, whether economic and/or flexibility-driven.
-
We assist banks by increasing balance sheet capacity and creating capital-efficient senior financing.
Junior capital facilitates a lower-risk position held by the bank.
This process results in lower funding costs for you.
Market Context
-
Infrastructure debt represents a core part of a bank’s offering to sponsor clients.
Institutional capital sources have ear-marked substantial investment over the medium term.
The public funding gap, decarbonization, digitalization and reshoring all support a significant growth trajectory.
-
Bank lending into the sector is capital intensive which can restrict profitability.
Private capital funds can struggle to satisfy their gross return requirements.
-
Ralco effectively acts as a low-cost clearing partner between:
(A) sponsors or banks seeking to increase balance sheet capacity, and
(B) banks with lower credit risk appetite and efficient junior capital.
How You Benefit
-
Bank lending capacity has been impacted by higher interest rates, increased regulation and constrained balance sheets.
Meanwhile private credit funds can find it challenging to offer competitive terms.
These factors contribute to a sub-optimal market for borrowers.
-
Ralco is embedded in traditional transaction flow, effectively acting as a low-cost clearing partner.
Ralco uses senior secured and subordinated solutions that optimize capital usage by banks supported by junior capital.
Ralco then provides sponsors with a single point of funding.
-
Single-point access to senior bank funding and junior capital.
Improved economic terms deliverable at scale.
A relationship servicer with a solution-orientated focus.
