Description of the Business Line or Department
The GLFI/NAT mission statement is to develop a worldwide business franchise in the Natural Resources, Energy and Infrastructure sectors by providing clients with financing solutions as well as providing advisory services.
The Natural Resources & Infrastructure Financing Group provides a full range of finance and advisory services for producers, traders, processors and end-users of energy, metals and soft commodities as well as public sector through four key platforms: Energy group, Metals & Mining finance group, Traders, Commodity finance & Agribusiness group and Infrastructure finance, as well as MARK/CTY joint venture.
GLFI/NAT/NRG is in charge of financing and advisory services for energy projects worldwide as well as structured financings and reserve-based lending for energy players.
SCA, a newly-formed sub-business line of GLFI/NAT/NRG covers provision of strategic and commercial advisory primarily for Oil and Gas clients, across upstream, midstream and downstream, and over time it will include power (thermal, renewable, nuclear and related infrastructure).
One of the key selling points for SCA is its "ownership" mindset, understanding of requirements of conventional and non-conventional debt and private equity investors and its ability to leverage off industrial and financial skills elsewhere in the NRG team.
SCA is a London-based team which subject to resourcing will have global remit.
Provision of strategic and commercial advisory services is a focus of the team, supported by financing using both the bank's balance sheet, derivatives and capital markets as well as leaning on outside investors, to create value and or liquidity events for clients. It is intended to widen SCA activity to include private equity placement.
