SECTORS OF ACTIVITY

A long-standing reference in the renewable sector

RENEWABLES

For more than 10 years, we have been working with renewables developers and investors of all sizes and across the globe. As investors' growing appetite for this asset class puts yields under pressure, it becomes even more important, to structure, negotiate and execute the optimal interest rate hedging strategy (or even prehedging strategy) for each project.

INFRASTRUCTURE

Over a decade of experience in the infrastructure sector

We help sponsors and developers of infrastructure projects to quantify and hedge their market risk exposures. Our in-depth knowledge of the infrastructure sector allows us to provide key support when structuring, documenting, negotiating and executing hedging strategies.
