As part of Eagle International Group, Ford Werner Capital combines deep analytical insights with decades of practical experience in the world’s financial markets and many industries in order to offer the best bespoke financial solutions to government bodies and large organisations seeking to raise capital for substantial global projects and to enhance sustainable growth, ensure safe expansion and secure significant returns for all stakeholders.
Ford Werner Capital excels in designing creative and novel solutions even in difficult situations and allows governments, institutions and businesses around the globe to thrive. The company is dedicated to truly helping its clients and their stakeholders. The solutions developed by Ford Werner Capital create long-term benefits and sustainability.
Furthermore, Ford Werner Capital as part of the Eagle Group offers long-term strategic advice, even after the finance has been arranged and disbursed. Its senior management team is sought after as retained counsel, as board directors and strategic consultants.
Ford Werner Capital works closely with governments and large corporations to facilitate access to bespoke and advanced funding packages to meet their specific requirements. Ford Werner Capital is active in both debt and equity markets. For instance, the firm is capable of swiftly arranging the issuance of bonds, listing them at a major stock exchange and placing them with suitable stable long-term investors. Alternatively, Ford Werner Capital can arrange syndicated loans.
Ford Werner Capital advises governments around the globe. It is founded on the principle that finance alone is insufficient to deliver sustainable solutions unless combined with sound knowledge and advice built on years of practical and empirically based know-how.
Ford Werner Capital is truly independent and without conflicts of interest. The firm puts its clients first. “If our clients thrive, so does the company”, said Professor Richard Werner, managing director at Ford Werner Capital. “Watch out, because there are many cases where financial firms use unnecessary complexity to further their own interests, often at the expense of their customers.”
Ford Werner Capital specialises in solutions which help its clients gain the greatest economic benefit whether it be for an entire country, the district of a local government, a new city development, large infrastructure projects, special economic zones or smaller more localised projects.
Ford Werner Capital has one of the highest investment acceptance rates whether it be for government or commercial sectors. The investments are evaluated in detail, subjected to thorough scrutiny and recommended only after a state-of-the-art due diligence process.
In many cases it can prove a challenge for companies and governments when attempting to raise funds from domestic or foreign capital markets due to the lack of participants. This may be due to a variety of reasons such as insufficient knowledge or lack of funds which ultimately results in a mismatch between potential projects and investments.
Ford Werner Capital can help to showcase client’s firms or projects or entire economies that deserve greater attention from international institutional investors around the globe, facilitating enhanced liquidity across equity and debt opportunities.
The firm’s senior management has nurtured personal relationships, formed over years of collaboration, with European banks and financial institutions, central banks, governments, as well as institutional investors. Gaining access to international investment pools can increase a company’s or a state’s treasury’s global presence alongside increasing the return of the projects by providing accessible funds at lower interest rates than might otherwise be available.
