Full bio >Explore our world of Structured Solutions
Pricing instability along with limited capital have made it increasingly difficult for Energy and Power companies to access the cost-effective liquidity they require to propel growth. In this environment, companies need to manage their credit requirements while controlling costs and mitigating their financial risks. These industries are ready for change.
Collateral posting requirements are costly, tie up valuable liquidity and are a poor allocation of limited capital. Structured solutions such as the On-Demand Payment Bond (‘ODP’) can replace cash or letters of credit freeing up working capital for more efficient uses and improving the overall leverage of your company.

Why On-Demand Bonds?
On-Demand Bonds offer several key advantages:
Beneficiary (Obligee) is the bondholder and accepts the bond in lieu of other stand-by security or in conjunction with other collateral postings.
Improves your working Capital by reducing the capital constraints of stand-by posting obligations.
ODP Bond is supported by an Indemnity Agreement established between the shipper and the surety market (like a bank facility).
ODP Bond pays out in the same time frame as other collateral postings (5-7 days).
Priced competitively at or better than letter of credit rates.
Surety markets available are minimum “A” rating with enough capacity to meet virtually any obligation.
Reduces administrative burden and costs.
