about us

Who we are

We are a regulated investment services firm, offering independent advisory, pioneer operational outsourcing services in the primary debt market, as well as intermediation and brokerage services in capital markets. This division of PKF Attest was established in 2014 to advise clients on their debt capital market activities.

Our aim is to help our clients obtain efficient funding via the debt capital markets. We have developed a unique primary debt market issuance service that supports and helps companies who rarely appear on the debt capital markets to take full advantage of the efficiency of wholesale funding, just as frequent issuers do, but without having to put in place the additional resources normally associated with it. We leverage on synergies, helping clients reduce their funding cost and increase their operational efficiency.

We are a market reference firm for Commercial Paper and bonds, operating in the European market through standard ECP/EMTN formats and in domestic markets through domestic CP & bonds formats. We help our investors obtain the best short and long-term investment opportunities, in the primary and the secondary fixed-income markets.

We provide valuation and liquidity services in the secondary market, identifying and executing the best opportunities for our clients. Furthermore, we promote sustainable financing, implementing ICMA’s Green and Sustainability-Linked Principles.

The Team

Our team is led by reputable, highly experienced professionals with broad corporate and investment banking backgrounds and a long history of working together. We combine profound knowhow and extensive experience in primary debt issuance, bonds and commercial paper origination and distribution, syndicated loans, bank financing, securitizations, project and structured finance.
