Debt Advisory

The debt platform provides clients with another route to accessing capital in terms of advisory, origination, structuring, distribution, underwriting and secondary market trading, be it debt for acquisitions, refinancing of existing debt or restructuring of existing debt.

The debt capital markets (DCM) team focuses on raising debt (both private placements or public issuance) for small and mid-size corporates in amounts of between £25m – £250m. This is a specialist area of activity where detailed knowledge of demand allows clients to achieve substantially better terms than those generally available from other DCM banks that focus exclusively on the debt wholesale market.

Activity in the new issue market is supported by active secondary market price making, where we are one of the largest traders on the ORB, the specialist market for retail denominated sterling bonds.
