Four Steps to a Successful Placement

Every bond issuance is a project requiring coordination between the issuer, regulator, stock exchange, legal advisors, and the investment community. We manage this process end-to-end — from strategy to execution.

01
Financial & Economic Analysis
In-depth diagnostics before market entry

Bond placement begins well before the first investor meeting. We conduct a comprehensive assessment of the company's financial health — analyzing revenue, EBITDA, debt load (Debt/EBITDA, Net Debt/Equity), liquidity, and cash flows. We evaluate the issuer's creditworthiness from the perspective of potential investors and rating agencies.

Analysis of IFRS financial statements and audit reports for the past 3–5 years
Calculation of covenant metrics and stress-testing of the debt burden
Assessment of the target loan structure — volume, tenor, currency, repayment schedule
Preparation of analytical materials for investors and the regulator
02
Issuance Documentation
Legal and presentation foundation of the issue

Documentation quality determines investor confidence. We develop a complete document package — from the offering prospectus meeting AFSA, KASE, or AIX requirements to materials that shape the company's perception among institutional investors. Every document undergoes internal review and coordination with legal counsel.

Development of the offering prospectus in accordance with regulator and exchange requirements
Financial modeling — cash flow projections, scenario analysis, debt service model
Preparation of the investment memorandum and investor presentation
Coordination with auditors, lawyers, and rating agencies as needed
03
Venue Selection & Deal Structuring
Optimal parameters for your business

Issue structure is a balance between the issuer's needs and market expectations. We determine the optimal placement venue — Kazakhstan Stock Exchange (KASE) or Astana International Exchange (AIX) — based on the company's profile, target investor base, and regulatory requirements. We select parameters that ensure maximum demand at the lowest cost of borrowing.

Comparative analysis of KASE and AIX — listing requirements, tax regime, investor base
Defining key issue parameters: volume, maturity, coupon type (fixed/floating), currency
Structuring the offering format — public placement, private placement, or club deal
Yield benchmarking — studying comparable issues to establish fair pricing
04
Placement & Investor Marketing
From presentations to book closure

Placement success depends not only on issuer quality but also on how the company's story is communicated to the investment community. We manage the full marketing cycle — from crafting the investment narrative and key messages to conducting roadshows and one-on-one meetings with asset managers and banks.

Development of the company's investment story and key talking points for different investor groups
Conducting roadshows and one-on-one meetings with institutional investors
Coordination with underwriters, paying agents, brokers, and depositories
Order collection and allocation, issue pricing, technical deal closure and post-placement support

"Bonds are more than just a debt instrument. They are a public statement of a company's maturity, planning capability, and readiness for dialogue with the market. Our mission is to make that dialogue as compelling as possible."

What the Issuer Receives

Entering the bond market is a strategic decision that transforms the financial architecture of a business

Long-Term Financing Without Equity Dilution

Bonds allow raising significant capital for 1 to 10+ years without transferring equity. Shareholders retain full control of the company, and the cost of borrowing is locked in at a predictable level.

Strengthening Credit Profile & Reputation

A public bond issuance signals market maturity and transparency. The issuer builds a public credit history, increases visibility among institutional investors, and lays the groundwork for future placements on more favorable terms.

Optimizing & Diversifying Funding Sources

Entering the bond market reduces dependence on bank lending, enables debt tenor and cost management, and creates competition among creditors — ultimately improving terms for the issuer.

Who Is Bond Placement Right For

The bond market is open to companies of all sizes — from mid-sized enterprises to large holdings and quasi-state entities. The key requirement is a sustainable business, transparent reporting, and readiness for public disclosure.
