Areas of Expertise

Capital Solutions Group

Stifel's London-based Capital Solutions Group (CSG) partners with DCM to offer mid cap and growth borrowers a full range of public and private capital markets solutions designed to span the full corporate lifecycle. We work closely with clients across a wide range of industries and jurisdictions to communicate their credit stories to a targeted investor audience and create tailored financing structures across the capital stack. Optimized to meet each client’s capital-raising objectives, these structures include both public and private solutions, ranging from senior secured debt to public bonds to preferred equity and hybrid instruments. CSG leverages Stifel’s global coverage of more than 7,000 accounts, from large institutions to private wealth, to find the right pockets of capital for each financing. We also have a unique capability to structure and place convertible bonds for mid cap issuers, giving these clients access to a highly flexible instrument traditionally considered the province of larger corporates.

Leveraged Finance

The Leveraged Finance Group offers a complete range of non-investment grade debt products to assist our clients in using leverage to grow, make acquisitions, and enhance value. We offer a full suite of debt products on a best-efforts and underwritten basis, including first lien and second lien credit facilities, asset-based revolving credit facilities, high-yield bonds, bridge facilities, and mezzanine financing. The Leveraged Finance Group works to assist clients in raising capital for acquisitions, leveraged buyouts, refinancings and recapitalizations, project financing, and other purposes. Our breadth and depth of product knowledge allows us to run a multi-track process to simultaneously vet private and broadly syndicated alternatives.
