EACH ADDRESSES A DIFFERENT KIND OF FINANCING CHALLENGE.
Clients engage TCSG when they are planning or already executing a large-scale project and want a stronger structure behind it. We design credit structures intended to qualify for off-balance sheet treatment under IFRS, drawing on surety and credit enhancement solutions developed with major insurance carriers. Decades of transaction experience across global markets allow us to structure projects in most jurisdictions, domestic or cross-border.
Clients approach TCSG when acquiring new entities and need to structure new capital, redeploy existing capital, or utilize hard assets more efficiently, including in cross-border transactions. When engaged, TCSG works solely for the Sponsor. We hold no investor capital and answer to no fund shareholders, so the structure we design is built around the Sponsor's objectives rather than a balance sheet of our own. Where appropriate, we incorporate insurance-based credit enhancement to improve terms available to the Sponsor.
Companies seeking to expand existing relationships or establish new ones with investment banks, commercial banks, insurers, or risk management firms may find value in TCSG's curated network of global finance relationships — particularly where existing providers cannot accommodate a specific transaction. Much of our structural range comes from long-standing relationships with major insurance carriers and their alternative risk transfer teams, whose surety and credit products allow us to design solutions conventional banking relationships often cannot support.
TCSG designs and coordinates debt and refinancing structures regardless of transaction size or jurisdiction. Our approach draws on creative surety arrangements built with major insurance companies and the alternative risk transfer products their specialist teams provide — capabilities that sit outside conventional lending and often open structural options a balance sheet lender cannot offer. The regulated components of each transaction are carried out by the appropriate licensed institutions.
Companies, governments, family offices, and sovereign entities engage TCSG to review their balance sheets and capital structures when evaluating how to strengthen their financial foundation or monetize an existing asset base. Our focus is complex credit structures designed with IFRS derecognition criteria in mind, so that clients and their auditors can evaluate off-balance sheet treatment on a sound structural basis. These structures are built to address cost, risk, and dilution considerations, in coordination with the licensed specialists in each discipline.
Clients undertaking complex financial matters outside their routine experience — non-routine acquisitions, expansions, projects, restructurings, financings, and refinancings — engage TCSG as coordinator for the transaction at hand. Our position is distinct from that of a fund or bank: we work strictly for the Sponsor who engages us, with no investor base, shareholders, or proprietary capital creating competing obligations. Decades of collective experience and an established global network allow us to coordinate transactions across most major jurisdictions.
By designing innovative financing and risk-mitigation structures, TCSG supports large-scale projects, acquisitions, and transactions in a way that allows clients to use their own capital and hard assets more effectively while structuring around cost efficiency. Where the structure permits, we design to IFRS derecognition criteria so clients and their auditors can evaluate off-balance sheet treatment.
We design the overall financial strategy, structure, and transaction plan. We curate the specialists each deal requires — consultants and subject matter experts, investment and commercial bankers, risk management professionals, bond trustees, and major insurance carriers and their alternative risk transfer teams — from a worldwide network built over decades. We then coordinate with sponsors and participating institutions through to completion.
TCSG works across multiple industries and sectors on a worldwide basis, including technology, energy, infrastructure, transportation, commercial real estate, resorts and hotels, oil and gas, food and beverage, entertainment, healthcare, manufacturing, consumer products, aerospace, chemicals and materials, and communications and media.
