Funding or financing capital projects can be challenging. Our experienced municipal advisors can help you manage the complexities involved with issuing bonds from start to finish – no matter what your specific funding goals might be.
Every public sector organization has unique objectives and constraints. We’ve worked with many organizations, and we understand the pain points.
Public infrastructure needs? Utility upgrades? New parks? New community center? Public-private partnerships? Our experienced, registered municipal advisors can help you craft a debt structure that supports your specific capital project needs and focuses on today – and tomorrow.
Issuing bonds and notes can be challenging when it comes to identifying the best repayment stream and method of financing, crafting the ideal debt structure, navigating the rating agency process, communicating your story to investors, and analyzing the bond pricing and postissuance compliance. As registered municipal advisors who have helped public sector clients finance their projects for decades, we know how to help your organization understand and manage these important steps.

We help public sector organizations like yours fund capital projects and manage debt in the following ways.
You can count on us to provide sound advice, manage timelines, craft debt structures, assist throughout the rating agency process, draft official statements, manage competitive bond sales, or work with the underwriting team on negotiated deals through the bond closing.

Developing a debt issuance policy for your community is important to your organization and to market participants. A debt policy reflects a commitment to sound financial management and accountability. We understand the importance of a comprehensive debt policy and are here to assist you in crafting a document that meets the highest standards of industry best practices. Our team can provide the expertise and support you need to develop a policy that satisfies the expectations of market participants and serves as a cornerstone for your community’s financial health and growth.
Continuing disclosure is an essential aspect of the municipal bond market. It involves the ongoing filing of financial and operational information to investors and stakeholders to provide transparency and foster trust. By maintaining regular and accurate disclosures, issuers can help investors make informed decisions, which can lead to more favorable bond pricing and better access to capital. We can help your organization stay on top of your continuing disclosure requirements.
Markets can shift, interest rates can vary, increased pressures on revenues can arise, regulations can change. When these things happen, it could be a sign to refund or restructure outstanding bonds. We can work with you to analyze your existing debt structure, identify potential savings, and implement a refunding strategy that maximizes benefits for your community. Whether you want to lower your interest expenses or restructure your debt, we have the expertise to guide you through the process.
