Capital Markets
Often a loan may be too large or complex for a single financial institution to handle on its own, and that’s where Southern AgCredit’s capital markets team comes in.
By leveraging our collective capital base, we achieve the size and scale necessary to serve the needs of the capital intensive food, fiber and rural infrastructure sectors. Due to the size and complexity of these customers’ financing needs, most of our relationships are structured as syndications or participation arrangements with and through other financial institutions. We have established relationships with commercial banks, insurance companies, Farm Credit System banks and associations as well as other lenders across the country to serve our customers’ needs.
Our philosophy is to build long-term relationships utilizing solid underwriting and relationship skills, providing our customers and partners top notch industry knowledge while utilizing fast and efficient processing practices and intelligent ongoing analysis and monitoring.
