Sponsor Partner

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.
