Local Authority Treasury

At the core of this service is a proven process enabling clients to build, monitor and review a strategy that reflects their specific circumstances. It delivers a long term cash flow forecast with emphasis on risk around net treasury costs and a liability benchmark.

Debt and investment strategy flows out of this analysis in tandem with our interest rate and economic forecasts as economies are evermore inter-related whilst geopolitical tensions are increasingly extreme.

Investment strategies are now multi-faceted and include both liquidity and commercially driven revenue demands under the umbrella of a requirement to demonstrate security as the primary objective. Arlingclose has consistently assisted clients with investment strategies that reflect their circumstances and deliver significant added value.

Legislation and regulations have increased the risks associated with traditional treasury management investment approaches whilst the offered investment returns have sharply decreased. Credit ratings remain a useful source of information but do not constitute the single means upon which to base specific advice. A much wider and coherent set of data and analysis supports our proven counterparty advice.

Effectively communicating our advice to clients is important. We do this in a variety of ways but we still seek regular "in person" interactions with our clients. Our established and hugely popular programme of regional workshops are a key part of keeping our clients informed of the latest thinking and opportunities, supplementing online content and meetings.
