What is a Bond Mandate?

A bond (fixed-income security) is a financial instrument for the purpose of borrowing funds from investors as debt capital.

What is a Bond Mandate?

The proceeds from issuing such bonds can serve numerous financing purposes

  • Increase of working capital
  • Refinancing / restructuring of current debt
  • New market expansion plans
  • And more

In order to facilitate a bond issuance, ISP will require:

  • An account to be opened with ISP, including. Paying Agent Mandate
  • A bond prospectus

If a company meets the above requirements are met, it can raise funds without many obligations apart from interest payments and redemption. 

It is usually, but not exclusively, for the long-term financing of a company.

The capital proceeds raised by investor subscriptions can be used for any company-related investments and may be transferred to the company’s principal bank.

Advantages of a Bond Mandate
