Introducing the “BREFI”, A New Loan Programme by GMG

Over the past 12 months, the most common funding problem is the lack of financing options at the early stages of a real estate project: land acquisition, initial development, real estate purchase before the renovation, equity cash out towards new development, etc.

GMG receives high-value financing requests in almost all major countries, and it’s been very clear that traditional banks are less willing to take on the risk of financing the early stages of a real estate development or project. There has never been a greater need for non-bank alternatives than now.

Many of our high-net-worth clients have relied on the ‘long relationship’ with their banks (Implicit Put option) to be their lender of last resort, and when they are not, there is a scramble for financing options in a short period of time, which we see now. A separate issue is that banks, in general, may require recapitalization from losses due to Covid-19 and are looking to preserve capital.

Bridge Lending (the B part of BREFI).

As many of you know, one of the advantages of bridge loans is that they allow the borrower to secure opportunities that you would otherwise miss. Another advantage is bridge loans allow for flexible payment terms depending on the loan agreements. You can choose to start paying off the loan before or after securing long-term financing.

Also, qualifying and getting approved for a bridge loan takes less time than a traditional loan, giving the borrower the convenience of quickly owning the asset and begin getting the project off the ground with the intention of replacing the bridge loan with a more permanent construction loan, as an example.

GMG BREFI (short for Bridge + Refi).

We created the BREFI to combine 2 types of mortgage origination effort into one single offering to help clients with their initial bridge and onto the next stage of funding, usually a construction or development loan.

For example, in some cases, the initial bridge loan is used to purchase the property or land and prepare it to be “Shovel-ready.” That is land or structure that has plans, zoning, and issued permits in place. Having these ready allows for construction to begin immediately after closing.

A major difference between these two is that new construction loans fund the construction of a new structure, whereas bridge loans allow investors to purchase land or property but typically do not fund any construction costs. A GMG BREFI combines them both into one service offering.

Investors who obtain a bridge loan will usually begin construction after they have refinanced out into their long-term loan.

Typical Bridge Loan

Used to purchase “shovel-ready” land or land with an existing structure for a quick flip

Used to pay off the existing loan by refinancing into another loan

Not normally used to fund construction

Typical Construction Loan

Used purchase “shovel-ready” land or land with an existing structure to tear down and rebuild

Used to pay off the loan upon selling the property

Always used to fund construction

Our team uses GMG BREFI by finding lenders that will take both portions of the funding stack, Bridge + Construction.

Some common uses of GMG BREFI

Purchasing a plot of land to build a new development

Investors looking to purchase a plot of “shovel-ready” land would normally use a construction loan which is not available in this market environment. A BREFI will allow you to acquire the desired land and finance the new development on the property.

Purchasing an existing property (IE en bloc in Singapore) to tear down and build a new one

For clients planning to tear down and rebuild a structure on a piece of land, a BREFI can be used as a financing option.

Financing required to purchase land and begin construction immediately

Property developers who have the required documentation to begin construction on a piece of land can use the BREFI, where typical construction loans are not available with traditional banks. The hardest part of any new construction is getting the needed permits; once this is done, our lenders can disperse the funds in “construction draws” to start building.

Please note that the civil fraud case is about him misrepresenting how wealthy he is, in order to get better rates on loans and insurance.

He is appealing, because of course he is, but he needs to put up the amount of the judgement in order to appeal; he would get it back if the appeal succeeded. The amount--it's called "disgorgement"--is based on what he is estimated to have fraudulently obtained.

In other words, the amount of money he got, by claiming to be wealthy, is an amount that he now can neither cough up, nor get anybody to lend to him. It's not just that he doesn't have the full $464 million in cash/liquid assets: he doesn't have enough to put up to get the loan*.

According to his own attorneys, he has approached 30 underwriters in an effort to secure a loan. None of them are interested in securing this loan with real estate or other non-liquid assets**.

So now he's asking the court to cut him a break, so that he can appeal the ruling. You know, the ruling saying that he lied about being rich, in order to fraudulently obtain loans. Because he doesn't have the money, and can't find anyone willing to believe him when he says he's good for it.

He's asking them to let him appeal without putting up the bond, so he can go back to court and prove that he really is rich and has no need to defraud anyone to get a loan.

(*No idea what they're asking in terms of collateral, but for reference, if you are a common criminal putting up a bond to get out of jail before trial, the bail bondsman usually asks 10% of the bond amount.)

(**Gee, I wonder why?)

Letitia James Turns the Screws on Trump

The inflated $464 million bond required to appeal effectively denies him due process.

By The Editorial Board

Wall Street Journal

March 18, 2024 

New York Attorney General Letitia James’s use of lawfare to take down Donald Trump is getting uglier by the day. She is now threatening to seize the former President’s assets after effectively denying him the ability to appeal the grossly inflated civil-fraud judgment against him.

Mr. Trump’s lawyers wrote Monday in a court filing that they’ve been unable to obtain a bond to guarantee last month’s $464 million judgment. Defendants are required to post bonds to appeal verdicts. Mr. Trump’s lawyers say securing the full bond would be “impossible” since most of his assets are illiquid.

One way to satisfy the bond would be to borrow against his real-estate holdings. But Mr. Trump’s lawyers say that only a handful of insurance companies have “both the financial capability and willingness to underwrite a bond of this magnitude,” and “the vast majority are unwilling to accept the risk associated with such a large bond.”

What’s more, his lawyers say that none of the insurers that Mr. Trump’s team approached “are willing to accept hard assets such as real estate as collateral for appeal bonds.” This isn’t surprising given the recent write-downs in commercial real estate and enormous uncertainty about their valuations, especially in places like New York. Insurers may also fear Ms. James’s legal retribution if they provide the bond to Mr. Trump.

Thus in order to appeal the judgment, Mr. Trump could have to unload property in a fire sale. If he were later to win on appeal, his lawyers rightly argue that he would have suffered an enormous, irreparable loss.

Ms. James no doubt knows she has Mr. Trump in a bind. She and courts have opposed his requests to reduce the bond even though a court-appointed independent monitor overseeing his businesses eliminates the risk he could dispose of or transfer his assets to make the judgment harder for the state to enforce.

As we wrote last month, the judgment is overkill. None of Mr. Trump’s business partners lost money lending to him or claimed to have been deceived by his erroneous financial statements. No witness during the trial said his alleged misrepresentations changed its loan terms or prices, and there was no evidence that he profited from his alleged deceptions.

Nonetheless, state trial judge Arthur Engoron ordered him to “disgorge” $355 million in “ill-gotten gains.” This sum was based on the interest-rate savings that a financial expert retained by Ms. James estimated Mr. Trump netted from his legerdemain. But this calculation seems dubious since banks said they didn’t alter their loan terms.

The judge also tacked on profits that Mr. Trump putatively made on properties for which he submitted false financial statements without demonstrating that the latter enable the former. He also added “pre-judgment interest” dating back to the day Ms. James launched her investigation in 2019. This makes Mr. Trump liable for alleged wrongdoings before he was even charged. All of this provides plausible grounds for appeal.

Whatever his transgressions, defendants are entitled to due process, which includes the right to appeal. Ms. James is trying to short-circuit the justice system to get Mr. Trump, as she promised she would during her 2018 campaign. Anyone who does business in New York ought to worry about how Ms. James could likewise twist the screws on them.

Fed bars former Santander Consumer executive over high-priced gifts

The Federal Reserve has banned a former Santander Consumer USA executive from the banking industry for improperly accepting high-priced gifts such as Super Bowl tickets and luxury hotel stays.

The former executive, Brent Huisman, “routinely solicited and accepted” gifts from auto auction companies that worked with Santander Consumer, the Fed said in an enforcement action made public Thursday. Huisman consented to the issuance of the order.

Huisman previously reached a settlement over the issue with Santander Consumer, which had sued him for accepting the gifts and for the misuse of confidential information. He had also agreed to pay $275,000 to Santander Consumer, the subprime U.S. auto lending affiliate of the Spanish banking giant Banco Santander.

Huisman accepted more than $1 million in gifts from auto auction companies, including Kentucky Derby tickets, first-class airfare and sponsorships for youth sports teams he coached, Dallas-based Santander Consumer said in its lawsuit.

Santander Consumer also alleged that Huisman and his wife used credit cards from an auction house that worked with Santander Consumer. The two used the cards to pay for sporting goods, airline tickets and a yacht rental in Cancun, the lawsuit said. The company said that it learned of the gifts after Huisman’s departure.

As the company’s senior director of asset remarketing, Huisman worked with auto auction companies to sell repossessed vehicles or cars that came off leasing arrangements.

He left Santander Consumer in June 2019, two months after asking staff to print confidential spreadsheets and presentations that contained company sales data and its fees with several vendors, the lawsuit said. He would later use those documents at an unnamed Santander Consumer competitor, according to the lawsuit.

The lawsuit said that Huisman’s conduct disrupted Santander Consumer’s business and harmed the company’s reputation and relationships with current and potential business partners.

Huisman’s lawyer did not respond to a request for comment. Santander Consumer declined to comment.

The Fed’s enforcement action prohibits Huisman from working for a bank without the central bank’s prior approval. Violations would open him up to further civil or criminal penalties.

Accounts Receivable Financing Company in California

State Financial: California's premier Accounts Receivable Financing Company, delivering top-tier solutions.

Check out the listing here: https://www.freelistingusa.com/listings/accounts-receivable-financing-company

[collapsedsquid]

Now First Republic is racing to reassure customers and clients that it can avoid the fate of Silicon Valley Bank, which collapsed last week after its depositors fled.

[...]

It’s a stunning turn of events for the lender, which built up a wealth-management franchise with some $271 billion in assets, putting it in rarefied air among American institutions. It’s the emphasis on that business that could make First Republic’s fate different from SVB and New York’s Signature Bank.

While it expanded rapidly into capital call lines of credit and lending to venture capitalists — services in which SVB specialized — its specialty serving the affluent is seen as making it more attractive to its larger rivals than its California counterpart.

“First Republic Bank grew up in wealth,” whereas “SVB started in portfolio companies,” said Joe Maxwell, managing partner at Fintop Capital, a fintech venture capital firm. Even though there’s a lot of overlap, where they started is still “part of their DNA,” he said.

[...]

Herbert founded First Republic in 1985, based on a hunch that jumbo home mortgages to wealthy, established Californians was too good a business to pass up. SVB’s model of providing banking to startups was conceived a few years prior — over a poker game. [...] Both originate single-family mortgages, but SVB had lent less than $9 billion. That’s a fraction of First Republic’s $99 billion balance, which made up 59% of their loan portfolio (it gave Mark Zuckerberg a 1.05% rate in 2012). It had another $22 billion in multifamily loans and $11 billion in other commercial real estate.

First Republic got rescued by some other banks while nobody would take SVB but the FDIC, part of that could be just the order in which they happened but I think Bloomberg is trying to throw some shade on this.

Gold as an Investment

Before jumping on the gold bandwagon, let us first put a damper on the enthusiasm around gold and examine some reasons why investing in gold poses some fundamental issues.

The main problem with gold is that, unlike other commodities such as oil or wheat, it does not get used up or consumed. Once gold is mined, it stays in the world. A barrel of oil, on the other hand, is turned into gas and other products that are expended in your car's gas tank or an airplane's jet engines. Grains are consumed in the food we and our animals eat. Gold, on the other hand, is turned into jewelry, used in art, stored in ingots locked away in vaults, and put to a variety of other uses. Regardless of gold's final destination, its chemical composition is such that the precious metal cannot be used up—it is permanent.

Because of this, the supply-demand argument that can be made for commodities such as oil and grains doesn't hold so well for gold. In other words, the supply will only go up over time, even if demand for the metal dries up.

History Overcomes the Supply Problem

Like no other commodity, gold has held the fascination of human societies since the beginning of recorded time. Empires and kingdoms were built and destroyed over gold and mercantilism. As societies developed, gold was universally accepted as a satisfactory form of payment. In short, history has given gold a power surpassing that of any other commodity on the planet, and that power has never really disappeared.

The U.S. monetary system was based on a gold standard until the 1970s.

1

Proponents of this standard argue that such a monetary system effectively controls the expansion of credit and enforces discipline on lending standards because the amount of credit created is linked to a physical supply of gold. It's hard to argue with that line of thinking after nearly three decades of a credit explosion in the U.S. led to the financial meltdown in the fall of 2008.

From a fundamental perspective, gold is generally viewed as a favorable hedge against inflation. Gold functions as a good store of value against a declining currency.

2

Investing in Gold

The easiest way to gain exposure to gold is through the stock market, via which you can invest in the shares of gold-mining companies. Investing in gold bullion won't offer the leverage you would get from investing in gold-mining stocks. As the price of gold goes up, miners' higher profit margins can boost earnings exponentially. Suppose a mining company has a profit margin of $200 when the price of gold is $1,000. If the price rises 10%, to $1,100 an ounce, the operating margin of the gold miner goes up to $300—a 50% increase.

Of course, there are other issues to consider with gold-mining stocks, namely political risk (because many operate in developing nations) and the difficulty of maintaining gold production levels.

The most common way to invest in physical gold is through an exchange-traded fund (ETF) like the SPDR Gold Shares (GLD), which simply holds gold.

When investing in ETFs, pay attention to net asset value (NAV), as the purchase price can at times exceed NAV by a wide margin, especially when the markets are optimistic.

A list of gold-mining companies includes Barrick Gold Corp. (ABX.TO), Newmont Corp. (NEM), and Agnico Eagle Mines Ltd. (AEM), among others. Passive investors who want great exposure to the gold miners may consider the VanEck Vectors Gold Miners ETF (GDX), which includes investments in all the major miners.

Alternative Investment Considerations

While gold is a good bet on inflation, it's certainly not the only one. Commodities in general benefit from inflation because they have pricing power. The key consideration when investing in commodity-based businesses is to go for low-cost producers. More conservative investors would also do well to consider inflation-protected securities like Treasury Inflation-Protected Securities, or TIPS. The one thing you don't want is to be sitting idle—in cash, thinking you're doing well—while inflation is eroding the value of your dollar.

Gold Price Performance

The price of gold depends on a complex array of factors. Because gold is priced in dollars, the value of the U.S. currency can have a significant impact on the performance of the precious metal. A strong dollar makes gold more expensive for buyers in other countries, potentially leading to lower gold prices. On the other hand, a weaker dollar makes gold more affordable for international purchasers and may bring increased prices. Since gold is seen as a hedge against inflation, the decline in value of fiat currencies and the market's expectations surrounding inflation can also affect gold prices.

3

These factors seem to be evident in the yellow metal's recent price history. Throughout most of 2022, despite soaring levels of inflation, gold prices actually dipped, likely driven lower by sustained strength in the dollar against other currencies. More recently, with inflation remaining stubbornly persistent despite the Federal Reserve's attempts to bring it under control, gold prices have recovered to more than $1,875 per ounce in January 2023, from around $1,656 per ounce in September 2022.

3

What's to Come

You can't ignore the effect of human psychology when it comes to investing in gold. The precious metal has always been a go-to investment during times of fear and uncertainty, which tend to go hand in hand with economic recessions and depressions.

In the articles that follow, we examine how and why gold gets its fundamental value, how it's used as a form of money, and which factors subsequently influence its price on the market—from miners to speculators to central banks. We will look at the fundamentals of trading gold and what types of securities or instruments are commonly used to gain exposure to gold investments. We'll look at using gold both as a long-term component of a diversified portfolio and as a short-term day trading asset. We'll look at the benefits of gold but also examine the risks and pitfalls and see if it lives up to the "gold standard."

What Makes Gold Valuable?

Aside from its literal shine and the symbolic relationship with wealth that has lasted throughout human civilization, gold plays an important role as a store of value and a medium of exchange. Unlike other commodities, gold does not get used up or consumed, imbuing the precious metal with a sense of everlasting value. Gold serves as a hedge against the declining value of currencies through inflation, which leads many investors to consider gold an alternative asset and a way of safeguarding their wealth.

What Is the Gold Standard?

Under the gold standard, the value of a currency is pegged to the value of gold. The Bretton Woods Agreement, which formed the framework for global currency markets starting at the end of World War II, established that the U.S. dollar was convertible to gold at a fixed rate of $35 per ounce, with other world currencies valued in relation to the dollar.

4

President Nixon ended the convertibility of the dollar to gold in 1971, signaling the end of the gold standard.

How Can I Invest in Gold?

There is a wide variety of options for investors who want exposure to gold. It's possible to invest directly in gold bullion, although the costs of storing and insuring physical gold can be significant. Investors also can turn to exchange-traded funds (ETFs) that hold the precious metal or purchase shares of mining companies whose stock prices are correlated to gold's price performance.

The Bottom Line

Gold has held a special place in the human imagination since the beginning of recorded time. From an investment perspective, gold is attractive because of its potential to remain strong in difficult financial environments and to hedge against inflationary declines in the value of fiat currencies.

Although the U.S. dollar and other world currencies are no longer pegged to gold—as was the case when many countries operated under the gold standard—the precious metal continues to play an important role in the global economy.

1. Term Loans

A term loan is a traditional business loan where you borrow a lump sum and repay it over a set period with interest. It is ideal for:

Business expansion

Purchasing equipment

Long-term investments

2. Business Line of Credit

A business line of credit allows you to withdraw funds up to a particular limit while only paying interest on the amount spent. This is ideal for handling cash flow movement and short-term expenses.

3. Invoice Financing

If your company has overdue invoices, invoice finance enables you to borrow against them to keep cash flowing. This is an excellent solution for organizations who face delayed consumer payments..

4. Equipment Financing

Looking to buy new machinery, automobiles, or tools? Equipment financing allows firms to spread the cost of critical assets over time without incurring huge upfront costs.

5. Government-backed Loans

The New Zealand government supports SMEs through a variety of lending schemes, including the Small Business Cash Flow lending Scheme (SBCS). These loans typically feature lower interest rates and more flexible repayment terms. 

6. Unsecured Business Loans

Unlike secured loans, unsecured business loans do not demand any collateral. They are perfect for startups and small businesses that require immediate access to capital without guaranteeing assets. 

How to Choose the Best Business Loan in New Zealand

With so many possibilities, deciding on the ideal business loan might be stressful. Here are some things to consider: 

1. Loan Amount & Purpose

Determine how much funding you require and what you intend to utilize it for. Whether for expansion, inventory purchase, or operating capital, selecting a suitable loan type is critical. 

2. Interest Rates & Fees

Compare interest rates, fees, and extra costs. A reduced interest rate might save your organization thousands of dollars over time. 

3. Loan Term & Repayment Flexibility

Consider the loan repayment duration and whether the lender provides flexible options for payments based on your company's cash flow. 

4. Approval Speed & Eligibility

If you require speedy money, check for lenders with swift approval times. Some loans demand substantial documentation, but others have a shorter process of application. 

5. Collateral Requirements

Financial Disintermediation and the Future of the Banking Sector

The future of banking is getting a lot of attention as financial disintermediation becomes more common. People are starting to rely on new technologies like blockchain, and companies like Savings UK Ltd are embracing these changes. In this article, we’ll dive into how these shifts impact banks in the UK and the EU and what customers can expect.

What is Financial Disintermediation?

Disintermediation is a big word that means bypassing traditional middlemen in financial transactions. Instead of using banks to handle our money, we can use peer-to-peer networks, cryptocurrencies, and various online platforms. This creates an interesting landscape for both consumers and banks.

Why is Disintermediation Happening?

Several factors are driving financial disintermediation. First, technology has made it easier and cheaper to send money than ever before. According to a report by PwC, around 70% of customers would consider switching to a bank that offered a better digital experience. - Decentralization: Digital wallets and cryptocurrencies allow people to manage money without banks. - Consumer Choice: More options empower consumers and reduce reliance on traditional banks. People want more control over their finances, leading to an interesting tug-of-war between consumers and banks.

How Does Blockchain Fit In?

Blockchain is a decentralized digital ledger that safely records transactions. It allows for transparency and security, making it a perfect fit for someone seeking alternatives to typical banking. - Increased Security: Transactions are recorded securely, reducing the risk of fraud. - Cost Efficiency: By cutting out the bank as the middleman, users can experience lower fees. Some analysts predict that blockchain could revolutionize the banking industry. For instance, the EU is investing heavily in blockchain technology to create a more secure and efficient banking experience.

The Role of Savings UK Ltd

Savings UK Ltd is one of several companies stepping forward in the sea of change in the UK's💷 banking landscape. They emphasize customer-friendly services and implore a strong digital approach. Here’s what this new banking hands-on strategy includes: - Lower Fees: With fewer intermediaries, transactions can occur at less cost. - Better Interest Rates: Savings UK Ltd may offer competitive rates for people looking to grow their money. More customers are being attracted to models that help them save and manage their money more effectively.

The Challenges to Existing Banks

As this disintermediation trend rolls out, banks face challenges. Traditional banks have operated with significant profit layers for decades. - Stubborn Customer Bases: Many still rely on traditional banking, but younger generations are more likely to seek alternatives. - Adaptation: Old systems might struggle to co-exist with newer, more agile technologies. In the face of these challenges, traditional banks that do not adapt risk losing revenue and customers.

Changing Regulations in the UK and EU

Both the UK and EU are working on regulations to facilitate this financial transformation. Compliance continues to be vital for keeping customer trust. - Open Banking: This requires banks to share customer information (with consent), driving competition. - Digital Currencies: CBDCs (Central Bank Digital Currencies) are being considered in the EU, presenting new possibilities. By monitoring these regulatory trends, people can better grasp how they might influence their banking solutions in future developments.

The Increasing Importance of Financial Literacy

With financial disintermediation on the rise, understanding finance is more vital than ever. - Knowledge of Payments: Learning how digital currencies function can provide customers with more freedom and options. - Investment Insight: There’s much to explore with new asset types, from cryptocurrencies to new lending platforms. People must improve financial literacy to take full advantage of what the future of banking has in store.

Role of blockchain in Financial

How to Prepare for the Future of Banking

As we stand on the brink of a technological evolution in finance, consumers can actively prepare: - Stay Informed: Regularly read up on emerging technology like blockchain. - Become Tech-Savvy: Get comfortable with online platforms and digital wallets. - Evaluate Your Options: Compare traditional banks with newer FinTech companies. Being proactive means you can make adjustments as the banking experience evolves.

Conclusion

The landscape of the future banking industry is changing due to the rising popularity of financial disintermediation. Technologies such as blockchain are giving customers real choices at their fingertips. We also see companies like Savings UK Ltd moving up rapidly as customer preferences evolve. For anyone interested in banking in the UK or the EU, understanding these shifts is more essential than ever. Upskilling in finance and technology is key to maximizing future opportunities in the banking sector. Why not explore your options today? Read the full article
