RISC Financing Platform Services Limited (RISCfp) provides liquidity, collateral and capital financing solutions to banks and other financial institutions over the Financing Platform. It does so under standardized secured lending structures (such as repos, securities lending agreements and secured loans) that qualify for protection under bankruptcy procedures in principal OECD jurisdictions.

The Financing Platform enables financial institutions to increase liquidity and enhance risk-adjusted return on capital by:

• using less-liquid assets to source long-term liquidity and financing

• transforming illiquid assets into collateral-eligible securities for use at CCPs and other financial market infrastructures

• creating attractive investments that:

  • qualify as high-quality liquid assets for regulatory purposes

  • provide counterparties with high-quality collateral in a capital-efficient manner

• raising current and contingent capital for banks and insurance companies in a manner that:

  • reduces requirements for common equity Tier 1 capital 

  • provides admitted/ Solvency II assets for capital or liquidity applications

The RISCfp management team has an established track record of developing and executing client transactions, starting with the first Catastrophe Bond in 1994. Members of the management team have executed over $16 billion in client reserve, collateral and capital financing transactions since 1996, spanning many asset and risk classes.
