Project Resume

Project Finance International ranks IAF as the 6th in Asian Financial Advisory mandates for 2005. This places us as 15^th in the world among the good company of ING and SG, for example. Our heritage is in closing financings, not just advising at the pre-formation stage.

Such financings and advisory assignments (some 65) amount to US$12.5billion. In all cases, these roles were as the lead arranger or sole adviser. What the clients receive is the full experience of the IAF network to develop workable solutions which can attract the best combination of funding.

IAF is noted for pioneering new financial structures and cross-fertilising financing practices from one industry sector to another. Its other strength is in the packaging of complex projects (avoided by conventional banks/advisers) and in the optimisation of the financing package to maximise the amount raised either as debt or equity.

IAF’s advice is often sought before the project concept has been finalised. IAF can assist in the selection of the optimum financing route(s) using its background of involvement in over 758 projects to date around the world ( in 37 countries at last count). These advisory skills are many faceted.

IAF can work on any of the following bases:
