Structuring
The structuring team is the liaison between the origination and distribution teams. It is responsible for structuring highly sophisticated transactions for the bank and its clients, such as securitisation transactions, funds, and tax efficient solutions.
The structuring team works closely together with the Merchant Banking teams and the Specialised Finance teams to detect client needs and to offer what the markets demand. The team also cooperates very closely with Treasury to satisfy the bank's funding needs.
The team deploys various risk transfer techniques (including securitisation, syndication and credit derivative technology) to manage our portfolios. We structure individual (large) loans and portfolios comprising of more loans into risk participations that can be transferred to a broad range of investors.
- Securitisations: Structuring of securitisation transactions. Types of collateral for these securitisations include commercial and residential mortgages, leveraged loans, structured credits and shipping loans. Furthermore, the team evaluates securitisation opportunities in new asset classes to facilitate active management of credit risk exposure and enhancement of other principal finance activities.
- Fund Structuring: Creating equity funds that are open to third-party institutional investors in asset classes such as infrastructure and real estate.
- Tax Structuring: Providing structured products and solutions in the fields of taxation, external reporting, legislation and regulations, and hybrid financing. These transactions are undertaken mainly for the benefit of Netherlands-based financial institutions and corporate clients.
