The Lease Advisory and Asset Finance Group was established at Carreden in 2002. Our team has worked together as lease advisors and asset finance specialists for institutional investment since the early 1990s. Since joining Carreden, we have acted as advisor in transactions representing over $9 billion in asset cost. Our primary focus is on hard-asset finance in the transportation, energy, manufacturing and infrastructure sectors where our superior analytical and structuring experience brings added value to clients. Transactions are frequently complex and often involve multiple parties and advisors. Our emphasis on coordination and cooperation are paramount in achieving successful and timely results.
We have earned a reputation as a premier advisor within the big-ticket asset finance sector based on a history of innovation and flexibility. Our principal strengths include:
- Significant experience over a broad range of assets and industries in transactions employing traditional credit structures as well as project financing, including renewable energy installations and facilities that employ investment and production tax credit incentives;
- A strong track record of successfully executing lease financings and sale transactions, including Sec. 1031 Like Kind Exchange transactions;
- Superior analytical and structuring experience designed to produce successful results and maximize transaction profitability;
- A focus on long-term success that has resulted in excellent client relationships and multiple assignments. We frequently act as a paid consultant to insurance companies and other corporate clients to perform lease portfolio analysis in special situations involving mergers and acquisitions, asset sale opportunities, and new or revised accounting rules and regulations.
Experience
Our team members have more than 90 years of combined financial structuring and banking experience in executing big-ticket lease and project finance transactions. Our additional background working as principals provides a balanced perspective on issues that arise between transaction parties, resulting in quick and successful resolution. We act as a coordinated team in each transaction, focusing on economic analysis, financial and tax structure, asset-specific issues and legal framework.
Advisors, not Brokers
Carreden takes pride in its corporate philosophy, which emphasizes advocating our clients' interests ahead of any transaction. We are long-term relationship-oriented advisors and our philosophy is well regarded by our clients. We seek transparency in our client relationships, becoming in effect a specialized extension of their own capabilities. Our goal is to fully understand our clients' goals and objectives to ensure success on every assignment.
