What Is
Performance Guarantee 
Insurance?
  

What It Is

Performance Guarantee Insurance protects businesses from non-payment of their commercial debt or failure to achieve an expected rate of return or projected value on a private equity investment. It makes sure loans are paid and investors are secure in their investments and allows companies to reliably manage the economic,  commercial and political risks of trade that are beyond their control.

As important as it is to know what Performance Guarantee Insurance is, it is equally important to know what it is not. Performance Guarantee Insurance is not a substitute for prudent, thoughtful credit management. Sound credit management practices should be the foundation of any credit insurance policy and partnership. Performance Guarantee Insurance goes beyond indemnification and does not replace a company’s credit practices, but rather supplements and enhances the job of a credit professional.

Who Issues The Insurance?

Coverage is provided by S & P Ratings, AA rated, or better,​ insurance carriers
PGI coverage was issued by an S&P AA rated insurance provider.

Our PGI Program is insurance coverage that insure projected revenue of an enterprise and the implementation of a business process or technology, effectively creating a synthetic financial guarantee. The PGI coverage when used in combination with our proprietary ratings model, structuring capabilities, rating agency relationships, investment banking and legal partners, can deliver clients an investment grade (“BBB” or better) rating for their own debt and/or equity offering.

The Goal Of ​Performance Guarantee Insurance

​Ultimately, should an unexpected loss occur, revenue not meet projections or valuation not meet targets, the PGI provides indemnification, thus protecting the lender or investor.  By maintaining a strong relationship between the business, the lender or investor and the insurer, PGI may be the wisest investment a company can make to ensure its profits, cash flow, and capital are protected.

The ultimate goal of PGI is not simply to indemnify losses incurred from a default, but provide businesses with the support and knowledge they need to avoid foreseeable and unforeseeable losses from the start, enhancing their credit worthiness and increasing their access to the capital they need to thrive.

Examples Of Success


Client A - Renewable Energy

Client A needed to refinance existing debt for less costly long-term debt on two Renewable Diesel Plants.

Issue

Client A needed to broaden the potential institutional investor base capable of making a minimum $300M investment. Without an investment grade rating for the plant/enterprise, the Client was having difficulty finding a refinancing partner.

Solution

We applied the PGI program for the benefit of Client A to raise $300M to refinance existing debt and to provide sufficient capital to develop two renewable diesel facilities. As a pre-revenue operation, sources for capital were limited.

The PGI program provided performance umbrella coverage that guaranteed the projected revenue of the two facili­ties for the next 10 years. Leveraging this coverage and our proprietary ratings model, we were able to secure an investment grade rating on behalf of Client A.

Every aspect of the operation was underwritten including the novel technology that would ultimately drive revenue. 

Result

Client A secured a $300M loan facility at attractive rates as lenders were well protected against the loss of principal and interest.

Client A will sell its debt in the form of "A-" Rated secured bonds for an additional $200M of capital.

Client B - New Technology

Client B needed to raise capital for a new technology with immense economic value but was unable to convince lenders that projected returns were reliable.

Issue

Lenders were unwilling to fund Client B because of the risk that if the new project and new technology fail to perform as projected, the lender would suffer a significant loss. As a result, lenders were unwilling to fund our client.

Solution

We created a PGI Insurance program which addressed the lender risks associated with the operation of the facility and the technology of Client B's project by guaranteeing a level of production sufficient to meet debt service and by supporting the warranty obligation of the technology provider.

PGI coverage was issued by an S&P AA rated insurance provider. The PGI coverage provides that in the event Client B's quarterly output falls below the required output, defined as the performance level from the project necessary to meet the debt service owed to the Lender, a claim of loss can be made to the insurer.

Lenders recognized the value of Client B with the PGI solution because projected returns were now fully insured and debt service was no longer in question.

Result

​Client B received $400M of funding.
