Senior financing is the primary and most important component of the capital structure. BONDS Executive Ltd structures and coordinates senior debt transactions on real estate and corporate assets, optimizing the LTV ratio, financial covenants, and collateral to ensure maximum bankability of the transaction with leading Italian, Swiss, and international credit institutions.
Each transaction is analyzed to determine the optimal sustainable LTV over time, the financial covenants appropriate to the asset’s profile, the repayment mechanisms best suited to the borrower’s and lending banks’ objectives, as well as the structure of collateral and personal guarantees required by the market.
Typical LTV
50–70% of the asset value, with the possibility of higher LTV in the presence of additional guarantees, pre-sales or strengthened covenants.
Duration
2–7 years. Bullet, amortizing, or interest-only structures with a final balloon payment, depending on the nature of the transaction.
Pricing
Euribor/SONIA + spread. Margin calibrated based on the asset's risk profile, LTV, borrower quality, and collateral structure.
Guarantees

Typical duration
Preferred equity occupies the highest level of the subordinated capital structure, immediately above ordinary equity. It is a hybrid instrument that combines the economic protection of debt—through a guaranteed preferential return—with the upside participation typical of equity, in a structure that favors the alignment of interests among the various capital holders.
BONDS Executive Ltd structures preferred equity transactions on a contractual basis, with precise definitions of economic and governance rights, liquidation preference mechanisms, anti-dilution clauses, and rights to convert into ordinary equity or force exit through drag-along and put options.

Exit Rights

Development finance is a specialized category of structured financing designed to support real estate development, construction, completion, conversion, and repositioning transactions. These financial structures take into account the evolving risk profile typical of development projects, with progressive disbursements tied to construction progress and valuations based on the estimated Gross Development Value (GDV) upon completion.
BONDS Executive Ltd structures development finance transactions from the land acquisition phase through completion and subsequent refinancing with stabilized debt. The integration with Materia GROUP ensures independent technical due diligence and progress monitoring throughout the disbursement process.

Completion guarantee from the developer or third-party guarantor. Surety bonds in selected markets. Performance bonds from the general contractor.

Asset-backed structures rely on the quality and bankability of the underlying assets as the primary lever for credit creation. Unlike pure corporate financing—which primarily evaluates the borrower’s creditworthiness—ABS structures allow the asset’s quality to be isolated from the profile of the entity holding it, creating opportunities to access capital for transactions that would otherwise be unavailable for financing through traditional channels.
BONDS Executive Ltd structures asset-backed transactions on real estate portfolios, secured loans (NPL/UTP), lease receivables, revenue streams, and other real assets with predictable cash flows, integrating, where necessary, the Luxembourg-based GOLD KEY securitization platform to ensure maximum structural efficiency and asset segregation.
Underlying
Income-producing properties, secured NPL/UTP portfolios, lease receivables, rent streams, revenue bonds, mortgage portfolios.
Segregation
Isolation of the asset in an SPV or securitization vehicle for protection against the insolvency of the originator (bankruptcy remoteness).
Collateral Mgmt
Continuous monitoring of collateral value and performance. Margin triggers and enforcement procedures in the event of a breach.
Rating
Structure eligible to obtain an investment grade rating on the senior tranche by DBRS, Fitch or S&P for market operations.
Platform
Integration with GOLD KEY (Luxembourg SV) for Luxembourg-based securitization transactions. European passport for cross-border issuance.
Investors
Italian, Swiss, and international banks, credit funds, insurance companies, family offices, and institutional investors.

The Structured Finance Division of BONDS Executive Ltd operates as an integrated advisor, not just a simple intermediary. Our added value doesn’t end with the initial structuring, but extends throughout the entire transaction lifecycle, from initial contact to the final liquidation of the vehicle.
Confidentiality, operational discipline, and selectivity in evaluating opportunities are the guiding principles that inform every decision we make. We work exclusively on transactions where we can bring real, differentiating added value.

Pre-Commitment Analysis
Each transaction is thoroughly analyzed before any formal commitment. Our preliminary assessment includes financial, legal, and technical feasibility analyses to ensure the transaction is structurally bankable before starting the formal process.
02

03
03Alignment of Interests
Our mandate structure is designed to align our incentives with the success of the transaction. Part of our compensation is tied to the achievement of the transaction's objectives, ensuring a genuine alignment between our interests and those of our clients.
