This revolving credit facility (RCF) was never going to be made available to ALGW, who were and still are " a financial advisory business providing specialist consultancy, advisory and supplementary services to institutional and qualified investors globally in the multi-billion dollar market of longevity assets."
The RCF was being made available to the Warehousing SPV , which seems to have been incorporated as "designated purpose company" in Dublin.
ALGW in partnership with SLIM in Chester are selling zero coupon, high yield bonds to US investors via a limited partnership fund (BOAGF) in the tax haven Cayman Islands, which they manage for a fee which improves with returns. That has all been reported to the SEC in New York.
To sell those bonds they need an underlying security, which is made up of the aggregation of multiple redeemed life insurance settlement packages into a securitised asset , which is what the Warehousing SPV does, but it needs short term working capital to do that. From buying the life settlements to selling the bonds is a few months I imagine, and then the debt is repaid. If you ever watched "Margin Call" you can see how it is a month or two (although that was mortgages)
So I can see how GS described it as short term, but will be required for a long time, revolving over and over with each new package. There was also a comment that the RCF provider was intending to buy the bonds as a big deal for the own client base.
Equally who ever is in the frame for providing the RCF is not going to lay out a dollar until Danny Swick and Austin King turn up in Dublin with evidence of a bunch of people who want to buy the bonds and bunch of people who want life settlement agreements to fund their lifestyle on Santa Monica beach.
It all sounds trickier than beating City at Old Trafford, but it can be done and SLIM are fully engaged. I think they would be long gone otherwise.
RNS next week? I am not sure about that. I will give it the rest of the month and then think something is not right.
