Rabobank in business

The objective of Structured Finance is to maintain a premium quality portfolio of diversified financial and asset-backed securities.

Our portfolio managers have a deep understanding of the structural and credit aspects of investment and can effectively assess the relative pricing of different asset types. Their multi-layered approach to analysis focuses closely on the quality of underlying assets and asset originators, and can also include extensive on-site due diligence.

Heavy emphasis is also placed on an on-going surveillance of assets that helps us identify any trend away from performance expectations, and allows us to take action prior to price deterioration.

Structured Finance arranges and participates in tailored solutions for corporate clients and financial institutions with complex financial objectives.

Most transactions arranged by Structured Finance are unique structures developed in close co-operation with the client.  Structured Finance specialises in dealing with situations where complex tax, accounting or regulatory issues arise.  Transactions frequently involve the use of structured hybrid instruments and special purpose entities and are often enhanced through the selective use of Rabobank attributes.

Complementing the bank's knowledge base, we operate with an experienced team of bankers, tax specialists, lawyers, and accountants who work closely and collaborate with clients' own tax and treasury departments to achieve the optimum outcome. 

We are internationally based with representatives in Utrecht, London, Hong Kong, Dublin, and New York. 

Transactions arranged by Structured Finance include:

• Low taxed investments 
• Joint venture financing structures
• Partial recourse funding of asset pools
• Tax loss compensation
• Structured leases
