Alternative Financing Group

Exotix’s Alternative Financing Group (AFG), comprising Yves Soyfer, Alfonso de Leon and Javier Andres, provides alternative financing solutions across a variety of sectors, particularly energy.

With a global mandate, the group helps frontier & emerging markets’ clients access competitively priced financing through tailor-made loans, bonds or other financial instruments to suit their specific circumstances.

A core focus is to provide structured finance packages to energy companies based within high growth economies. This sector has been traditionally underserved as corporates struggle to overcome financing barriers such as a lack of domestic lenders and local regulatory uncertainty.

In addition to the energy sector, Exotix’s AFG provides project finance and equity participation for other cash-flow generating sectors including utilities, metals, shipping, aerospace, and commercial real estate. Deals are negotiated on a case by case basis with transactions ranging between $50 million to $150 million.

The team has a proven track record in providing complex financing solutions to frontier market companies, having worked on numerous high profile projects in the energy sector including the largest single-stage wind energy development in Latin America.
