Spotlight on Structured Asset-backed Finance
Vasgen Edwards, Lloyds Bank Wholesale Banking & Markets - 15 Sep 2009
Corporate treasurers are waking up to the fact that the solution to their flexible funding requirements may be closer to home than they realised. Harnessing the power of the assets hidden on their own balance sheets can be the answer to their financing requirements.

Increasing changes in the funding landscape mean treasurers are searching for additional prudent and sustainable funding sources, to add to their current funding mix. This is leading to a renewed interest in structured asset-backed financing solutions, designed to give treasurers the opportunity to rebalance and re-engineer their capital structures by offering well-priced, longer maturity alternatives. By securing a funding solution on the assets already owned by the company, or assets that will be essential to the business, it is possible to rebalance pricing models in a company’s favour, as these solutions allow treasurers to ‘pick and choose’ products most suited to their needs and the individual assets they have available. With deal sizes typically ranging from between £25m to £100m, these financing solutions have become a much more attractive option, giving companies the ability to unlock the value of their business’ fixed assets; obtaining assets for short- or long-term contracts and secure new assets with minimal outlay to preserve cash reserves. It is also often possible to secure these financing solutions much more quickly than other methods, by using an existing

    In this week we are turning our attention towards the remaining major component of the balance sheet – owners’ equity. Like liabilities, owners’ equity represents another form of financing for a business. At first glance, liabilities (capital provided by creditors) and owners’ equity (capital provided by owners or shareholders) may look very different. As we delve deeper into the topic, however, you will appreciate that debt and equity are at either end of a continuum of financial instruments and that sometimes, financial instruments exhibit both debt‐ and equity‐like qualities. Further, you will note that some financing arrangements do not appear in the balance sheet at all! In our discussion of equity financing, we discuss the option of using equity as a source for resources (assets) of the corporation. Shareholders are a key source of initial finance for a company. While traditionally regarded as the owners of a company’s assets, more recent thought suggests that the shareholder exchanges their investment in a company for a right to the residual cash flows of the firm (dividends). At the end of this topic, you should be able to: LO1. Describe the components of owners’ equity LO2. Accounting for contributed equity LO3. Accounting for retained profits LO4. Accounting for reserves LO5. Describe bonus issues, share splits, and share buybacks LO6. Understand what is meant by debt/equity trade‐off…

    Capital structure decisions: To M&M and beyond Introduction Modigliani and Miller’s proposition one states that by introducing debt financing does not change the value of the firm or the value of the firm’s cash-­‐flows but only the way that these cash-­‐flows of the firm are split between its debt and equity holders. This is the principle of conservation of value: “no change in the investment value of the enterprise as a whole would result from a change in its capitalization. ”[1]…
