Debt offering

The debt capital markets are challenging and complex to navigate, and successfully completing a debt offering requires thoughtful planning and execution.

With interest rates remaining at historic lows and ongoing uncertainty in the equity markets, debt financing continues to be a popular avenue for raising capital. Sources of debt financing are changing too. Following the 'credit crunch' and increasing regulation, bank lending has not recovered to its historic levels and companies have increasingly turned to the bond markets.
