We act as an independent neutral party, managing everything from simple bilateral deals to complex cross-border transactions.

Managing intricate multi-lender loans can be challenging. Our administrative and facility agent services cover the full spectrum of loan facilities, from fixed-rate bilateral loans to complex, multi-party syndicated structures.
Acting as the central interface between lenders, borrowers and other stakeholders, we manage documentation, payment flows and reporting obligations under the laws of multiple jurisdictions. With our industry-leading loan management software, LoanIQ, we provide accurate record-keeping and timely execution of all administrative tasks.
As an independent service provider, we offer a conflict-free solution both from day one and as a successor administrative agent, including in defaulted loan syndicates or multi-lender credit scenarios.
Structured finance deals often involve intricate payment waterfalls and strict reporting timelines. Manual or fragmented processes can lead to errors, increasing operational risk. Our calculation agent services involve determining payment amounts and allocations for multi-party financial structures. These services are critical where precise calculations underpin investor confidence and regulatory compliance.
We assist with calculating interest, principal, fees and waterfall distributions according to transaction documentation. We also prepare and deliver detailed investor reports, maintaining accuracy and transparency for all stakeholders and safeguarding investor trust.
Accurate management of cash flows in structured transactions is critical for investor confidence and company reputation. With multiple counterparties and strict timelines, the potential for mistakes is high, leading to penalties for non-compliance.
Our cash manager services involve administering designated bank accounts and handling all payment flows for structured finance transactions. This includes collecting funds, reconciling balances and disbursing payments according to waterfall priorities and transaction documentation. We help to make sure liquidity is managed efficiently and that all parties receive funds accurately and on time, reducing operational risk in complex multi-party deals.
Complex transactions involving multiple parties are often best managed using a trusted intermediary. As escrow agent, we act as that independent third party to hold funds or assets during a transaction until all agreed conditions are met. This is critical in capital markets deals and structured finance transactions where parties need assurance that requirements have been fulfilled before funds are released.
Our end-to-end services include managing the account setup, monitoring compliance and KYC checks and executing disbursements promptly once conditions are satisfied, creating an additional layer of security that helps build trust between parties.
Sukuk transactions require strict adherence to Islamic finance rules, complex documentation and precise execution across multiple jurisdictions, necessitating a trusted Murabaha agent to maintain compliance with both financial regulations and Sharia law.
As a Murabaha agent, we act on behalf of investors to structure Sukuk transactions under Islamic finance principles. We purchase specified commodities or goods and sell them to the obligor at an agreed markup, safeguarding Sharia compliance and supporting efficient finance processes for corporates and sovereign entities. We manage documentation, execution and coordination between all parties to maintain complete integrity throughout the transaction lifecycle.
International transactions often require parties to appoint a process agent to meet legal and contractual obligations. Without a trusted provider, you risk missed notices, non-compliance and costly delays.
Our process agent services provide a reliable local representative to receive legal notices and service of process on your behalf in jurisdictions where you don't have a physical presence. This role is critical for cross-border financing, loan agreements and commercial contracts, as it entails the proper serving and acknowledgement of legal documents in accordance with local laws. We offer coverage in all major financial centres across the world.
Cross-border secured transactions face challenges such as fragmented collateral management and potential disconnect between local and global administration.
We act as collateral agent, security agent, security trustee and, in Latin America, agente de garantías or fiduciario, holding and administering collateral for secured parties across all types of secured bonds and loans.
For multi-jurisdictional deals, our office in the jurisdiction governing the credit serves as the global agent, while our local offices serve as collateral agents. This creates a single point of contact for all parties, providing efficient administration throughout the transaction lifecycle. We also support cross-border financing transactions under New York law through a Master Collateral Agent structure.
Complex financing transactions often involve multiple parties and jurisdictions, creating challenges around document security and compliance. Misplaced or improperly managed documents can lead to delays, disputes and regulatory risk.
As an independent safekeeping agent, we help to make sure that critical transaction documents—such as original agreements, security instruments and certificates—are stored securely and managed in accordance with contractual terms. This includes organising documents, maintaining accurate records and facilitating prompt retrieval when required for audits, enforcement or restructuring.
Complex transactions often involve large asset pools and strict eligibility requirements. Manual verification or reliance on internal teams can lead to conflicts of interest and operational inefficiencies.
As an impartial verification agent, we establish that assets included in a structured finance or securitisation transaction comply with the eligibility criteria defined in the deal documents. This involves reviewing asset data, performing agreed tests and providing formal confirmation to stakeholders before inclusion in the pool. By acting as an independent third party, we help maintain transparency and integrity in asset selection, reducing risk for investors and issuers.
