GuarantCo provided a partial credit guarantee for a listed and rated Non-Convertible Debenture (NCD) bond issuance by Vivriti Capital, an impact focused non-bank financial institution in India. CRISIL, an S&P subsidiary, rated the credit enhanced bond at AA+(CE)/Stable. The NCD issuance totalling INR 2 billion (c. USD 23.4 million) aims to expand Vivriti’s access to the capital markets and enable Vivriti to tap into a diversified pool of longer-term institutional debt investors. This transaction will help Vivriti to primarily diversify its funding base from banks to institutional investors. Vivriti’s increasing asset base requires capital from varied sources to support its on-lending to a portfolio of under-served mid-market enterprises and small businesses engaged in infrastructure development, including climate-focused initiatives. This is GuarantCo’s first capital market transaction in India and aims to be the catalyst for replicable transactions in the Indian market. This issuance is anticipated to be the first of many to enable the scaling and channelling of funds from multi-billion-dollar local insurance companies, pension funds and mutual funds into the debt capital bond market. Regulatory norms have typically restricted investments in bonds that are rated lower than AA.

GuarantCo and the Credit Guarantee Corporation of Cambodia (CGCC) have signed a Framework Agreement as part of the Private Infrastructure Development Group’s Credit Enhancement Facility initiative. The Framework was signed alongside the first transaction between GuarantCo and CGCC, in which GuarantCo has provided a 10-year, USD 7 million portfolio guarantee to CGCC.
