The Company has been involved in the London Money Market since the 1960s, and in the 1980s enhanced the development of its public sector client base with an association with the CIPFA Loans Bureau. The Company now provides services to a wide range of Public Sector, Banking, Building Society and corporate institutions on an international basis. Our commitment to the Public Sector is emphasised by the services we offer to over 270 Local Authorities.

The consultancy division was established to give added value to clients. The aim of the service is to provide access to in-depth experience in all treasury management matters as they affect the organisation requesting the advice. The service is based upon individual attention and personal contact and works best as a partnership with the senior officers of the client. We are committed to developing our treasury consultancy services for our Local Authority clients but we aim to provide a different service from our competitors.

The service is particularly focused on helping the client to make the right decisions:

• When to invest?
• With whom?
• For how long?
• When to borrow?
• How much?
• What are the consequences of these decisions on the Council's finances?
• What are the risks to the Council?
• How can the risks be minimised whilst making effective decisions?
