MONETIZING ASSETS SUCH AS BONDS, NOTES, SBLCs/BGs

In the modern financial landscape, accessing liquidity is critical for businesses and investors looking to capitalize on opportunities, manage cash flow, and fuel growth. Many entities hold illiquid assets—such as bonds, notes, letters of credit, and bank guarantees—that are valuable but often difficult to convert into readily usable capital. Subcontracts International specializes in helping clients unlock the value of these illiquid assets through strategic monetization, enabling them to leverage their financial instruments for business expansion, trading, and investment opportunities.

This essay delves into how Subcontracts International successfully helps clients monetize illiquid assets and optimize their financial position.

Illiquid assets are financial instruments or holdings that cannot be easily or quickly converted into cash without significantly affecting their value. These assets often require time and complex processes to be traded or monetized. Despite being valuable, their illiquidity poses challenges for businesses that need immediate cash flow or capital for projects and investments.

Examples of such assets include:

• Bonds: These debt securities represent a loan made by an investor to a borrower. Bonds can be valuable but may have long-term maturities, making them difficult to liquidate immediately.
• Promissory Notes: Legal instruments that represent a written promise to pay a specified amount of money at a certain time. Like bonds, notes are not always readily convertible into cash.
• Letters of Credit (LCs): These are guarantees issued by banks on behalf of their clients, ensuring that a seller will receive payment under certain conditions. Although letters of credit are secure, they are not directly cash-equivalent until monetized.
• Bank Guarantees (BGs): These financial guarantees are issued by banks, ensuring that the liabilities of a debtor will be met. Bank guarantees can be substantial in value but remain illiquid unless monetized.

Monetization refers to the process of converting illiquid assets into cash or liquid capital that can be used immediately. Subcontracts International excels in providing clients with tailored solutions that allow them to realize the value of their illiquid assets.

Here is how the company successfully facilitates this process:

The first step in monetizing illiquid assets is a thorough evaluation of the financial instruments in question. Subcontracts International’s team of experts conducts detailed due diligence to assess the legitimacy, value, and risk profile of the assets. This process includes:

• Verifying the legal ownership and enforceability of the bonds, notes, or guarantees.
• Assessing the creditworthiness of the issuers (in the case of letters of credit or bank guarantees).
• Analyzing the underlying terms, such as maturity dates, interest rates, and potential returns.

Through this comprehensive evaluation, Subcontracts International ensures that the assets meet the required criteria for monetization and that the client receives the maximum potential value.

Once the assets have been evaluated, Subcontracts International structures a customized monetization strategy tailored to the client’s financial goals. This strategy includes:

• Identifying the most appropriate channels for monetization, whether through direct sale, collateralization, or leveraging the asset for credit facilities.
• Determining the percentage of the asset's face value that can be converted into cash. In most cases, the liquidity percentage ranges from 70% to 95%, depending on the asset's risk profile and market conditions.
• Establishing timelines for the monetization process, ensuring that clients can access the funds in a timely manner for their business or investment needs.

Subcontracts International leverages its vast network of financial institutions, private lenders, and alternative investment platforms to execute the monetization process. The firm acts as an intermediary, connecting clients with reputable banks or financial partners willing to convert their illiquid assets into cash or extend credit facilities.

For example, if a client holds a high-value bank guarantee, Subcontracts International can arrange for the guarantee to be used as collateral to secure a credit line. Alternatively, the company may facilitate the sale of the instrument to a buyer willing to pay cash upfront, providing the client with immediate liquidity.

Once the monetization process is completed, Subcontracts International ensures that clients receive the liquid capital or credit lines needed to fuel their business operations, investments, or expansion plans. The funds can be used for a wide range of purposes, including:

• Expanding business operations
• Investing in new projects or ventures
• Engaging in high-yield trading programs
• Managing working capital or cash flow challenges

By successfully converting illiquid assets into usable capital, Subcontracts International helps clients maximize the value of their financial instruments and realize their financial goals.

Subcontracts International has extensive expertise in monetizing a variety of illiquid assets, including:

Government or corporate bonds with long-term maturities can be challenging to liquidate immediately. Subcontracts International helps clients access liquidity by facilitating the sale of bonds or using them as collateral for loans. This process allows bondholders to access cash without having to wait for the bond to mature.

Promissory notes, though valuable, often lock in capital for extended periods. Subcontracts International offers tailored solutions to convert these notes into cash, providing clients with liquidity without having to wait for repayment.

Letters of credit are often used in trade transactions, but they are not immediately liquid. Subcontracts International works with leading banks and financial institutions to monetize LCs by converting them into cash or leveraging them to secure credit facilities.

Bank guarantees provide security in various transactions but remain locked until the guarantee is called upon. Subcontracts International facilitates the monetization of bank guarantees by converting them into liquid capital, allowing clients to use the funds for business expansion, investment opportunities, or other financial needs.

Subcontracts International offers several key advantages to clients seeking to monetize illiquid assets:

By monetizing illiquid assets, clients gain immediate access to funds that would otherwise be tied up in long-term or non-cashable instruments. This liquidity can be used for various financial purposes, including new investments, operational expansion, and risk management.

Subcontracts International provides bespoke monetization strategies based on the client’s unique financial situation and goals. The company’s deep understanding of financial markets and instruments ensures that each monetization process is optimized for maximum returns.

Subcontracts International’s strong relationships with top-tier financial institutions and private lenders ensure that clients benefit from the best possible terms when monetizing their assets. These partnerships enable the company to access global capital markets and provide flexible solutions.
