Services

SLCS’ culture is to bring all resources to bear on behalf of each client and to do so on a timely basis. For each client we seek to first understand the dynamics of their unique circumstances so as to advise with the broadest understanding of all factors, including policy, relevant to the project or financing.  Our objective is to implement financially sound and economically beneficial transactions and outcomes for our clients.

A key feature of our qualifications is our analytical capabilities.  We utilize a full suite of analytical tools that rivals any major Wall Street firm.  Having been instrumental in the development of student loan finance, SLCS personnel have been on the cutting edge of analytical methodologies for many years, and currently help set the standard of excellence on Wall Street. This unique capability is equally beneficial to our municipal clients whether they be analytically driven such as housing or revolving fund issuers or more traditional issuers where analysis of, for example, refunding efficiency or debt capacity are paramount. Cash flow analysis is a core competency of SLCS that manifests in many assignments. SLCS’s cash flows, valuations and overall analytical credibility are widely recognized and accepted by financial industry participants, including public companies, rating agencies, financial institution regulators, major accounting firms and investors.

We constantly monitor capital market conditions so that we can properly advise clients on capital raising, debt issuance and derivative strategies, structures and market values.  We maintain a continuous dialogue with multiple underwriters and other market participants to ensure we are receiving the full breadth of market information.

As former investment bankers at major Wall Street firms, CFOs at prominent issuers and municipal financial advisory veterans, the professionals of SLCS have extensive backgrounds in all aspects of student loan and municipal finance. As a result, the scope of services we are able to offer clients is very broad and underscores the value we bring to each and every client relationship.
