Shortly after September 11, 2001, Trinity Plus Funding Company, LLC was approached to structure a complex investment contract transaction for a municipality. The transaction involved several unusual features that required creative, customer-centered solutions and rapid responses and execution. The customer needed two separate investment contracts, one of which was collateralized with a specific blend of assets and the other uncollateralized. In addition, the customer asked whether we could arrange for a surety bond as additional support for Trinity Plus’ payment obligations under one of the contracts. We were able to satisfy the customer’s needs in both respects and did so seamlessly.
