Our expertise spans strategic, analytical, legal/regulatory, finance, policy, trade, transactional, and project/program-specific disciplines. We excel in clear-sighted, prudent, discerning, knowledge-driven advice, strategic thinking, innovative problem-solving, and harmonization of divergent interests. We have a deep understanding of the forces driving our low-carbon-economy transition, including global market needs and risks, market trends and opportunities, and standards, laws, and regulations.

We have advised the Financial Services Industry for four decades. We view Development Finance as a new center-stage asset class in global capital markets, with a quintessential role in catalyzing inclusive and sustainable economic growth and development in the areas where it is needed most.

Purpose

Development Finance is currently undergoing global reform, at the direction of the G20, so that the DFI/MDB/RDB/NDB mission for 21st century challenges can be fulfilled, in particular, the USD 1 trillion+ annual climate finance gap, health and education needs, and sustainable economic growth needs in developing and underdeveloped countries. Our main purpose is to enable MDBs/DFIs, Sovereigns/SWFs, and Private Capital Investors to thrive at this critical time, by providing holistic guidance and advice based upon comprehensive global capital market and global financial system knowledge, expertise, and time-tested strategic vision.
