Investment Banking

raising public or private capital

Due to its strategic geographical location between the United States and South America and its unique position within the Kingdom of the Netherlands, Curaçao is able to benefit from strong business ties within these regions and has preferential access to both the US and EU markets through the US Caribbean Basin Initiative and the European Union-Overseas Countries and Territories Agreement. 

With more than 90 bilateral investment treaties, the Netherlands offers a global network of protection to investors and their investments.  Dutch bilateral investment treaties are considered to provide the “gold standard” of investment protection.  Therefore, existing and new Dutch bilateral investment treaties provide significant benefits for Curaçao, which can enhance Curaçao’s function as a hub for investments into the Americas as well as into Europe. 

pygg  believes in the importance of an efficient and stable financial sector to enable individuals with ideas to become entrepreneurs and help small businesses to grow into big companies.  Banks play a critical role in this process, however, pygg also recognizes and supports the importance of continuing to develop Curaçao’s capital markets to support the growth of new firms, which can help drive higher productivity and also create new jobs. 

Our investment banking teamprovides financial consultancy services and we also assist our clients with raising capital, financial restructuring, private debt and equity offerings and raising funds through initial public offerings (ipos) on theDutch Caribbean Securities Exchange (“DCSX”). 

At pygg we analyze the commercial activities, funding and capital construction and we carefully take into consideration the viability of investments and how investments are financed including short-term management of assets and current liabilities, inventory control and long-term new capital purchases and investments.  

In many cases a simple loan will not increase shareholder value and then we need to advise in relation to more complex and riskier financial instruments such as derivatives and securitized and collateralized debt instruments like syndicated loans, collateralized mortgage obligations, collateralized bond obligations, collateralized debt obligations, credit default swaps and hybrid securities.  

With our technological resources and more than 100 years of combined expertise, we are able to meet all of our client’s complex as well as straight-forward business operations and short- and long-term financial goals and by utilizing our network and business associates, our clients also benefit from our long established and trusted business partnerships and diverse teams of tax, legal and financial experts both domestic and globally.  

The Dutch Caribbean Securities Exchange is an international exchange established for listing and trading in domestic and international securities (bonds, equities and funds) based in Curaçao.   

The DCSX is the only authorized securities exchange in the Dutch Caribbean licensed by the minister of finance of the government of Curaçao and supervised by the central bank of Curaçao and St. Maarten, an associate member of the international organization of securities commissions. 

In order for a domestic and international business to prosper, start-ups and small and medium sized businesses must be able to attract capital on a regulated exchange with competitive listing fees.  Any company or fund that seeks to list on the Dutch Caribbean securities exchange must have a listing advisor approved by the exchange. pygg is an approved DCSX  listing advisor.
