Our Expertise

At the core of our expertise is the excellence of our team in credit  analysis that is used to identify the appropriate capital structure, develop appropriate terms and conditions to support the fund raising in the relevant market and ultimately to position the credit in the correct light in the market. Read more

Our Value Add

Our value proposition for clients is related to the level of inefficiency and divergence in financing outcomes across similar credits that occur in the debt.  We achieve “best in class” financing outcomes on both pricing and non-price terms and conditions by ensuring the inefficiencies are eliminated.  Read More 

Underpinned by Independent Unbiased Advice

Grant Samuel has no balance sheet or distribution activities, enabling the provision of genuinely independent advice unfettered by the conflicts of interest that exist when commercial or investment banks take on the role of adviser and product provider. Read More 

What we do

We support our clients on capital structuring and funding transactions in a variety of capacities, specifically tailored to what suits them and their capabilities.  As our track record demonstrates, our value add comes from being able to achieve "best in class" outcomes that are materially better than what a client could achieve without our assistance. This sees us working across a wide variety of industry sectors, from AAA credit to sub investement grade credit and across the full spectrum of capital markets. Read more
