CSG Advisors and predecessor firms — CGMS Incorporated and Caine Gressel Midgley Slater — have been structuring public financings for more than 21 years.

Leading Financial Advisor. We consistently rank among the top financial advisors in the nation in terms of volume and number of transactions and have completed more than $50 billion of financings.

Objective Advice. We provide objective advice and transaction-related services to our clients for the most cost-effective ways to raise capital for their projects and programs. We do not underwrite securities nor promote one or more particular financing techniques. The breadth and depth of the firm's technical expertise gives clients the flexibility to issue bonds in the way that minimizes their cost of capital, as illustrated over the long history of CSG and its predecessors. Financings include: negotiated sale, competitive sale, private placement.

Alternative Approaches. In many cases, our recommended solution to a problem may not be a bond issue but a line of credit, taxable financing, a simple note issue or other form of debt and equity.

Financing Policies. On behalf of public agency clients we often prepare overall debt issuance policies, to assure that each individual bond issue meets all the requirements of the issuer — and avoids potential problems.
