Strategic Capital and Minority Investments

Making capital investments is perhaps the most important corporate finance task that can have serious business implications. Our teams work closely with clients ensuring the appropriate allocation and mix of strategic and minority investments.

Liability & Liquidity Management

Our Liability and Liquidity Management capability complements an independent and objective assessment of each client’s current liability profile with an innate understanding of the macro regime and industry knowledge, to help clients unravel the balance sheet and identify optimal liability management transaction and execution alternatives.

Liquidity risk is the risk arising from our potential inability to meet all payment obligations when they come due or only being able to meet these obligations at excessive costs. The objective of SilverMile Capital’s liquidity risk management framework is to ensure that clients across industries and life-cycle can fulfill  payment obligations at all times and can manage liquidity and funding risks within their risk appetite. The framework considers relevant and significant drivers of liquidity risk, whether on-balance sheet or off-balance sheet.
