Today the first debt program has been listed on the TWCX's interest rate exchange.
(1888PressRelease) May 01, 2014 - The program is not only cost effective but gives the company the flexibility to have multiple issuances with different debt instruments and different tenures when and where it suits them.
Initially we set in place the issuing of a short-dated zero coupon bonds to enable it to undertake further developments in the low-income housing market, which is its primary business.
"Three fund managers have already snapped up the bond quickly which demonstrates the appetite for the issuing of quality bonds," says Donald Preston, General Manager of Trading, TWCX. "There are another 4-5 issuers in the pipeline to list bonds which indicates that current market conditions are not a deterrent to issuers wanting to list a bond as long as the company has a need."
Peter Wu Shan, TWCX Coupon Bond Director said "Funding of a development business requires the combination of a diversified set of funding providers in order to arrive at optimal funding mix in terms of cost of debt and tenure and also creating adequate capacity for a developer".
This listing on the TWCX has paved the way for residential housing developers to gain access to institutional funding for the first time ever in this country. This will make it possible for the company to raise cheaper priced debt for financing its integrated and affordable housing developments as well replacing costly debt in its operations.
Having listed on the TWCX only 9 months ago, we feel proud and excited to be part of this ground breaking event within the maiden year of the company's listing, putting us on a trajectory to fund growth expectations said Preston.
