In today’s highly regulated market, issuers of tax-exempt and taxable debt face difficult financial decisions that require thoughtful consideration such as:

• How should I structure my bonds given current market conditions?
• How should bond proceeds be reinvested?
• How should the escrow be structured?
• What derivative structure provides the best interest rate hedge?
• How do I ensure fair market pricing when I execute a swap?
• How do I negotiate the most advantageous terms of ISDA documents?

SCM helps tax-exempt and taxable issuers answer these questions by guiding the decision-making process related to the structure and issuance of debt, investment of bond related monies, and the use of derivative products.
