Release 66: Understanding Private Placement Programs - Choosing the Right Procedures (The Winning Strategy)

Football pundits will tell you - and we are talking American football here - that a quarterback's greatest asset is not his passing arm or his speed or agility, but, rather, his ability to analyze the opposing team's defense and select the best play to facilitate the team's march downfield.

Similarly, a Trader's greatest asset is not his technical know-how with regard to securing credit facilities and arranging the actual buy-sell trading operation, but, rather, his ability to analyze the fact situation - the client's assets, the depository bank, the applicable legal jurisdiction, the trading platform requirements - and select the best procedure to facilitate the successful completion of the transaction.

And just like in football where quarterbacks rely on a comprehensive "play book" of plays, Traders too rely on a whole panoply of procedures at their disposal.

That being the case, we, perhaps, do the client a grave disservice - and "hamstring" the Trader unnecessarily - by trumpeting too loudly one procedure or another at the expense of all others.

Remember this: When it comes to choice of procedures, there is no one "right" approach - nor does "one size fit all". Each procedural format raises different considerations. What’s best for the client, therefore, will depend, ultimately, on the Trader's studied assessment of the nature of the proposed transaction and, of course, the client’s particular preferences.

And this determination...well, its probably best left to a sit-down meeting - and a frank and open discussion - between the client and the Trader.

I work with a very senior, high-ranking and credentialed Trader in Europe who is one of the largest commitment holders in the world. The Trader was formerly in government service where he held a highly sensitive position in a prominent U.S. federal agency for a number of years. Our trading group has outstanding capabilities, with its own transacting facilities in most of the major banks.

We also have an established relationship with two major Providers who are able to supply medium term notes (MTN's) - fresh cut, slightly seasoned and seasoned. Both Providers are extremely reliable sources for bank instruments and have a wealth of experience; they conduct the business very professionally and are currently tranching for other clients.

We also offer business colleagues and friends a monthly "newsletter" setting out information and updates concerning our private placement opportunities and MTN purchase contracts. If you wish to receive our newsletter, just send us your email address and tell us a little about yourself - and we would be pleased to add you to our "mailing list".
