Public Finance
Our public finance professionals complement our clients'
own capabilities with additional independent resources necessary to
thoroughly analyze
and evaluate any transaction. We view our role as an extension of the issuer's staff
and as a complementing activity to the complex and integrated financial decision-making
process which issuers must face when entering the capital markets. We attempt to
foster continuity in our relationships by remaining available to our clients not only
during the life of an individual transaction, but also at all times between transactions.
Our professionals are dedicated to providing technical expertise and thorough analysis to
produce the best possible solutions for our clients' long-term financing goals. We
provide comprehensive financial advisory and underwriting services including cash flow
analysis, investment advisory services and asset/liability management. Because of
our size and partnership structure, Coastal is able to provide a level of service and
response uncommon in the industry.
Coastal recognizes that one of the most important matters a
municipal issuer routinely faces is entry into the capital markets. Through the
experience and specialized market knowledge of our trading and underwriting department, we
maintain a competitive edge that enables our bankers to provide timely market advice.
For each transaction, Coastal will work with the issuer to
develop a financial plan that offers the best possible structure to meet the issuer's
long-term financing goals while minimizing interest cost. Our professionals are
experienced in assessing credit matters and will make recommendations on various credit
enhancements and market timing issues in an attempt to create a financing with the
broadest market acceptance.
