    Services

    Your partner for customized financial advisory and investment management in the energy, infrastructure, transportation and capital goods sectors. We successfully combine the financial with the industrial world – we bridge the gap!

    As an independent advisory firm, we offer specialized advisory services related to the structuring and financing of export, energy and infrastructure projects. With tailored financing solutions and the procurement of the required financing it is our objective to find the ideal financial structure combined with the optimal risk mitigation for your project. We structure and arrange financing solutions for companies that either wish to provide a financing package to their end-client in order to enhance the overall competitiveness of their industrial offer (sales support) or that are requested to provide a financing offer as per a tender process. We also advise and support companies wishing to enter into new areas of service provision, such as leasing structures, operator models, contracting or public-private-partnerships.

    In addition, we support corporates, funds and investors with specific advisory and management services in connection with long-term investments in energy and infrastructure projects.
