AFII · Structured Finance & Infrastructure Investments
Good Finance Begins With Understanding.
A new project, an established business and a cross-border transaction each call for a different approach to capital. The first task is to understand how the business works, where the risks sit and what the financing needs to achieve.
AFII advises on structured funding and related commercial arrangements for companies, sponsors and institutions working across sectors and borders.
About AFIIDifferent mandates.
Different ways forward.
Our work extends across five connected practice areas. Each brings a different set of considerations to the table.
Investment banking & capital raising
We work with project sponsors and businesses on funding structures that reflect the transaction, its underlying assets and the way capital is expected to be repaid.

the economy.
From essential energy systems to transport networks and manufacturing, each industry brings its own financing needs.
Finance for the real economy.
Beyond the term sheet.
Sound decisions start with the right questions.
What will the capital fund? How will the asset operate? What obligations will remain after the financing closes?
We look at the full commercial picture, working through the structure, counterparties and practical constraints before recommending a way forward.
Our approachClarity is part of the work.
Complex finance becomes easier to discuss when the decisions, responsibilities and trade-offs are made clear.
Understand the business
Start with the asset, the cash flows and the stakeholders—not a ready-made product.
Shape the structure
Consider a financing route in light of risk, time horizon and commercial feasibility.
Keep the long view
Good terms should make sense through the life of a project, not only at signing.
People behind the perspective.
Leadership across financial structuring, infrastructure and international markets brings specialist perspectives to each mandate.
