Base and structure

Financing strategy

What liquidity reserve does a city or state need? Should this be held as a financial investment, or are credit lines sufficient? Which forms of investment are suitable for you? Which financing instruments should you use and to what extent? How should the terms and fixed interest rates of financial liabilities be selected? How can you deal with the issue of sustainable finance? These questions come up regularly in the treasury of public institutions. They can be answered strategically by focusing on your own creditworthiness. We work with you to develop a creditworthiness-oriented financing strategy that enables you to methodically manage your entire financial risk over the long term.

Independent advice

Transaction support

Once the decision has been made in favor of a specific financing instrument or instrument package, we advise you on the preparation of the tender documents, the tender and negotiation process, and the final closing. For bonds, commercial papers and promissory note loans, we support you in finding those arrangers who best fit your strategy and can deliver a competitive commercial package. We guide you through your financing transaction in a structured manner - independently and without any conflicts of interest.

Rules for risks

Interest rate risk

The changing interest rate landscape also poses challenges for the public sector. Interest rate positions are usually managed passively, which means that no derivatives are used to change the interest rate situation during the term of a financial instrument. In consequence, this means that everything must be "just right" when the (often long-term) financial transactions are concluded. Together with you, we assess the current situation and show you which positions are exposed to interest rate risks. On this basis, we work with you to develop the appropriate strategy and limits that define the right scope of action for you.

Loans to investees

Transfer prices that can be compared with third parties

Are you liable for the financing of associated companies or do you extend loans to third parties? In the public sector, it is important to charge market interest rates or fees for both tax and state aid reasons. We help you to find a methodically correct but as pragmatic as possible way to assess the risk position of investee companies in the context of the public sector and thus to create a solid basis for price determination. Of course, we are also happy to provide you with expert opinions.
