In large scale financial transactions, small differences in agreed parameters can lead to significant costs down the line, whether financial, contractual or reputational. Arlingclose acts as a transaction benchmarker to mitigate these risks, ensuring the cost of the agreed transaction reflects fair underlying market conditions.
Arlingclose advises on execution timing, methodology and parameters; liaises with all parties to come to an agreed process for live execution; and ultimately provides comfort to the client that the outcome is fair, verifiable and auditable. Arlingclose has advised on and benchmarked around £1.6bn in structured debt and derivative transactions over the past year.
Gain independent assurance that borrowing, hedging and restructuring transactions are executed on fair, transparent and verifiable market terms.

We, at Transpennine Trains Limited, were extremely impressed by the support the team at Arlingclose provided throughout the transaction. They quickly became an integral part of the process, combining strong technical expertise with pragmatic, well-judged advice. Their preparation was excellent, and their calmness and composure during the live calls really stood out when the pressure was at its highest. Professional, responsive and great to work with, they added genuine value throughout.
