What We Do

The Advanced Capital Stack Architecture

We don’t just find funding; we engineer it. By dissecting every layer of the capital stack, SCG ensures that your project remains liquid, leveraged, and highly attractive to investors at every level.

Senior Debt (The Foundation)

  • Detailed View: This is the foundation of the capital stack, typically covering 50% to 75% of the total project cost. We specialize in sourcing first-lien mortgages with competitive interest rates and favorable LTV (Loan-to-Value) ratios.

  • Our Value: We negotiate restrictive covenants and prepayment penalties to give you maximum operational freedom.

Mezzanine Debt (The Strategic Bridge)

  • Detailed View: Sitting between senior debt and equity, this layer increases leverage while preserving your ownership. It is often secured by a pledge of equity interests rather than the physical asset.

  • Our Value: We structure “Mezz” layers to fill funding gaps, allowing you to scale projects that would otherwise require too much out-of-pocket cash.

Preferred Equity (The Risk Buffer)

  • Detailed View: This is a “hybrid” layer. Investors get a priority position for distributions (repayment) before the common equity holders. It’s an excellent tool for balancing the risk-return profile of a deal.

  • Our Value: We design preferred returns that are attractive to institutional investors while ensuring the waterfall structure protects your long-term interests.

Common Equity (The Growth Engine)

  • Detailed View: The highest-risk, highest-reward layer. This is where the core ownership resides. We help structure the “Sponsor” and “Limited Partner” (LP) dynamics to ensure the profit-sharing (Promote) reflects your hard work and expertise.

  • Our Value: We ensure the legal and financial alignment between partners is ironclad, focusing on high IRR (Internal Rate of Return) potential.

What We Do

What a Credit Market Analysis Report Typically Covers

A comprehensive Credit Market Analysis (CMA) provides a granular view of the lending landscape and issuer health. Our reports synthesize complex market variables into actionable intelligence, ensuring that stakeholders have a clear understanding of risk, pricing, and performance metrics across various credit sectors.

Market Overview

  • Technical Detail: This section provides a rigorous quantitative and qualitative assessment of the global credit environment. It involves tracking benchmark yield curves (such as SOFR or Treasury yields), monitoring market liquidity depth, and analyzing credit default swap (CDS) indices. We evaluate systemic volatility and investor appetite to determine the current phase of the credit cycle.

  • Goal: To establish a high-level risk baseline for grounded decision-making.

Interest Rates & Credit Spreads

  • Technical Detail: This involves a granular analysis of sovereign yield curves (Treasury/SOFR) and their impact on corporate borrowing costs. We examine “Spread Compression” and “Widening” trends across different credit tiers (Investment Grade vs. High Yield) to evaluate risk premiums. By monitoring the OAS (Option-Adjusted Spread) and term structures, we pinpoint how duration risk and inflationary expectations are being priced into the current debt market.

  • Goal: To identify pricing anomalies and decode underlying risk signals in the market.

Issuer and Sector Analysis

  • Technical Detail: This analysis deep-dives into industry-specific leverage ratios, EBITDA margins, and free cash flow (FCF) generation across various sectors. We evaluate “Sector Concentration Risk” and the cyclicality of cash flows to determine how specific industries (e.g., Real Estate, Energy, Tech) react to market shocks. The focus is on identifying “Credit Outliers”—issuers whose financial health diverges from their industry peers due to idiosyncratic management or structural factors.

  • Goal: To isolate specific risks within different asset classes and sectors.

Credit Quality and Ratings

  • Technical Detail: This section involves a deep dive into credit metrics such as Debt-to-EBITDA, Interest Coverage Ratios, and Liquidity Ratios to assess an issuer’s ability to service debt. We evaluate internal risk ratings alongside external agency grades (Moody’s, S&P, Fitch), focusing on “Crossover Credits” and potential “Fallen Angels.” By analyzing historical migration patterns and balance sheet transparency, we determine the probability of upgrade or downgrade within specific portfolio segments.

  • Goal: To verify the financial health and long-term solvency of the underlying assets.

Default and Recovery Trends

  • Technical Detail: We utilize quantitative modeling to estimate Probability of Default (PD) and Loss Given Default (LGD) across various credit cycles. This involves analyzing historical recovery rates by asset class and seniority (Senior Secured vs. Unsecured) to determine the “Expected Loss” framework. By monitoring distressed debt indicators and bankruptcy trends, we provide a realistic assessment of capital preservation potential in adverse scenarios.

  • Goal: To estimate potential losses and assess capital recovery outcomes.

Macro Trends & Outlook

  • Technical Detail: This section synthesizes macroeconomic indicators—such as inflation trajectories, central bank policy shifts, and GDP growth forecasts—with forward-looking market sentiment. We evaluate how systemic shifts and geopolitical developments influence global capital flows, while providing scenario-based forecasting (bull, bear, and base cases) for credit performance. The analysis integrates quantitative data from yield spreads and default models to identify tactical opportunities for duration management and sector rotation.

  • Goal: To understand the impact of external economic forces and provide actionable guidance for portfolio positioning.
