Credit Crunch: Akin’s Ramanathan on Capital Solutions

“The uptake among public companies actually is the biggest evolution in the field, because public companies are beginning to recognize the value of this asset class,” says Ranesh Ramanathan, partner and co-head of the Global Capital Solutions Practice for Akin, discussing capital solutions as a financing alternative. Ramanathan joins Bloomberg Intelligence’s Noel Hebert on this episode of the Credit Crunch podcast to talk about building a product suite, and meeting a company where they are at with a tailored solution. The pair also examine the difficulties in building awareness, the broader growth in funding alternatives, potential extensions for Akin’s platform and lessons learned through the great financial crisis. The Credit Crunch podcast is part of BI’s FICC Focus series.
