Revenue bonds
Revenue bonds are a valuable tool for financing your organization’s facilities. We’ve guided non-profits of all sizes through the revenue bond process from start to finish. We’ll help you assess debt capacity, navigate the issuer approval process, structure the issue and complete your sale at the most favorable interest rates.
Capital planning & structuring
When you’re ready to start the capital planning process, we’ll deliver the best structure for your goals. We’ll help you identify the right projects for tax-exempt financing and calculate the impact on your budget. Our debt structuring experience includes fixed and variable rate, long- and short-term, tax-exempt and taxable, interest rate hedges and swaps.
Credit enhancement process
We’ve helped non-profits of all sizes solicit and negotiate competitive credit enhancement. How? By knowing the major credit enhancement providers and understanding their underwriting criteria. And by presenting fund-raising programs to banks and bond insurers that maximize your tax-exempt financing.
Bond rating process
Piper Jaffray understands that a higher bond rating lowers your bond interest costs. Our experts know the rating process inside and out and work closely with the analysts who review your issue. We’ll use our extensive rating experience to guide you through this important part of the bond issue process.
Debt refinancing
We actively monitor our clients’ outstanding debt for money-saving opportunities as interest rate conditions allow. Additionally, using the information in our non-profit debt database, lets us analyze a wide range of refinancing techniques to find the best fit for your organization. We’ll move quickly to lock in savings and combine refinancing options with your bond issues to meet your debt objectives.
