High West Capital Partners CLP versus other alternatives

 

Bank Loans

Bank loans are given on a full-recourse basis meaning that the shareholder has personal or corporate liability beyond the collateral. Bank loans are also more difficult to obtain with less flexibility due to the banks being subject to Basel III requirements. Lastly, the terms at banks offer are significantly inferior to High West Capital Partners’ terms. Banks offer extremely low loan-to-value ratios while charging high interest rates.

 

Public Offerings

Public offerings are only available for public companies and are not available for private individuals or corporations.

 

Margin Loans

Margin loans are purpose loans collateralized by securities. The loan proceeds can only be used to purchase additional marginable securities in the client’s account. The loans are not non-purpose loans unlike High West Capital Partners’ CLP.

 

Private Lenders

Other private lenders have neither the experience nor the long term pool of liquidity that High West Capital Partners has. With less assets under management than High West Capital Partners, other private lenders do not have the flexibility to structure financing solutions like High West Capital Partners. Furthermore, many private lenders do not operate in favorable banking jurisdictions unlike High West Capital Partners. Also, most private lenders do not establish long term partnerships with their clients because they do not deliver sound solutions.

 

Asset Sales

The shareholder does not retain upside appreciation in an asset sale. Furthermore, the shareholder can create a negative public image if he or she maintains a senior executive position at the public company. Minority shareholders wish to see management teams hold concentrated equity positions in their companies in order to align their interests with all stakeholders. Lastly, asset sales can trigger tax events that may be burdensome for the shareholder.

 

Conclusion

High West Capital Partners offers its clients with the best collateralized loan product in the world. High West Capital Partners focuses on working with its clients to structure a bespoke CLP that offers numerous advantages over both traditional and alternative options. High West Capital Partners will continue to innovate and consistently deliver the best collateral vs stock loans globally.
