Securitization of Client Assets

We support customers' financial strategies by offering sophisticated solutions that use wide-ranging assets such as securitization arranged in both domestic and overseas markets, inventory finance and whole business securitization.

We have arranged financing for many real estate-related projects. Making the most of its rich experience and know-how, it not only arranges financing but also offers optimal solutions for customers' management issues, including financial and business strategies responding to IFRS, CRE strategies (strategies for corporate real estate management and investment) , and project feasibility assessments in connection with real estate holdings.

Syndication
Japan's market for syndicated finance reached JPY28.7 trillion in fiscal year 2011 (according to data released by Japanese Bankers Association) and has grown to become one of the world's leading syndication markets, following the United States. In fiscal year 2011, the Mizuho Financial Group accounted for 39.3% (according to data released by Thomson Reuters) of the domestic syndication market, No.1 market share. Going forward, we plan to draw on our strong sales and syndication capabilities to meet the diverse financing requirements of our clients.
Bond Administrative Services
With the advantage of our top-ranking position in the market, we offer bond administrative services for corporate bonds and asset-backed securities(ABS) as a trustee⁄fiscal agent.
Project Finance
Project finance arrangements provide financial resources to specific projects, operated as individual business entities, and the income and cash flows of these projects are used for the repayment of the project's financial obligations. This type of financing is employed especially for energy and natural resources development undertakings as well as large-scale infrastructure improvement and other projects, such as electric power plants, highways, and PFI (private finance initiative) undertakings.
In accordance with the revision of PFI Law and the enactment of The Act on Special Measures concerning the Procurement of Renewable Electric Energy in Japan, we are reinforcing our involvement on projects related to Public-Private-Partnership and renewable energies. Drawing on the know-how of our overseas network and our syndication capabilities based on our strong presence in the domestic and international syndication markets, we are well positioned to offer financing closely tailored to client needs globally.
In addition, in these activities, we are the first Japanese banking institution to adopt the Equator Principles, which set environmental and social standards for such projects. We have also enhanced our capacity to help customers meet their green-house gas reduction goals.
