We’re excited to share another insightful piece by Quentin Hills on an essential topic for businesses today. In this article, Quentin details the financial implications of posting collateral for casualty insurance programs, how it can impact a company’s liquidity, and highlights the pressing need for innovative solutions to manage these liquidity challenges effectively. Convergence Point Solutions’ ALOC facility is designed to address these very challenges, ensuring businesses maintain financial flexibility. #Liquidity #CollateralManagement #CasualtyInsurance #VanbridgeGreensLedgeJV
In risk management, casualty insurance shields companies from financial losses arising from accidents, injuries, or property damage. However, securing this protection can come at a cost beyond the premium. The need to post collateral – a form of security deposit – for specific casualty insurance programs can significantly impact a company’s liquidity. In this article, Managing Principal Quentin Hills explores the financial implications of this requirement and demonstrates why our Alternative Letter of Credit (ALOC) facility is a game changer. By leveraging the ALOC facility, companies can maintain their liquidity while meeting collateral requirements, ensuring they stay financially agile and protected. #GroundbreakingAlternative #InnovativeCollateralSolutions #ALOC #CasualtyInsurance Vanbridge, an EPIC company GreensLedge

M&A activity is rebounding, with Private Equity (PE) playing a significant role. In Q2, PE’s share of total M&A deal value surged to 41%, up from 33.5% in the previous quarter. This growth is fueled by banks resuming lending for leveraged buyouts, lowering borrowing costs, and driving a surge in large take-private deals. PitchBook's Q2 2024 Global M&A Report covers the trends shaping M&A dealmaking by region and sector—and how these developments may set the stage for an active second half of the year. #M&A #Dealmaking #PrivateEquity
