Real Estate

Our belief in investment diversification has led ICML to seek out a wider variety of investment choices we believe may be appropriate for some of our clients. One area that interests us is real estate.

This is a new product offering that will act as a hedge outlet to investors’ struggle low interest rates on deposits compared to inflation rate, and at the same time, dramatic volatility in the stock markets. Many have come to realize the importance of having a well-diversified investment portfolio that helps them smooth out the risk associated with having their money concentrated in a single asset class or investment.

To allow our clients access to investments that can enhance their portfolio's diversification and tap the performance potential of real estate, ICML is about to provide clients the opportunity to invest in Real Estate Investment Trusts (REITs)

There are a number of reasons why some investors consider investing in REITs:

•Dividend income
•Conservative capital appreciation
•Diversification

This Product Launch will add to our wide base of commercial real estate financing and
property trading services

Equipment Leasing
Leasing is a highly attractive financing solution for institutions and investors worldwide. The demand for leasing has created an industry of imposing scope and size with annual worldwide revenue of more than US$500 billion (Euro money-dc statistics). The market penetration of leasing as a proportion of all capital formation is increasing yearly and currently at over 40 percent in developed economies. In Nigeria, the awareness is relatively low. ICML shall leverage on the benefits accruable to the lessees, which include obsolescence avoidance, off-balance sheet financing, income tax factor, 100 per cent financing and flexibility, among others, to penetrate the market.

Project Finance/LPO Financing
In our bid to identify with the global trend and optimize the benefits from the various reforms in the real sectors of the Nigerian economy, ICML will position herself for investment in viable sectors of the Nigerian economy like Energy (Oil & Gas), Telecommunications, RealEstate/Engineering, and Manufacturing etc. However, in appreciation of the peculiarities of each sector, meeting their financial needs shall be structured in a way that will give optimal advantage to the customers and guarantee maximum yield to the investors.

This shall include assisting customers in arranging for funding options to meet their operational needs. This may include, but not limited to, options like:

Project Finance for operators in the Energy Sector (service companies in the upstream sub-sector and private Refineries), Telecommunications (for expansion by the existing Private Operators and emerging ones), Real Estate (for private real estate developers in prime locations)

Vendor Financing whereby ICML will serve as guarantor at a fee for credit supplies from the local or offshore product vendors on differed payment basis.

Offshore Financing, which shall involve arranging for foreign, credit line directly by ICML. The support of Intercontinental Bank Plc shall be sought if need be in this regard. This strategic Foreign Alliance, which will be for project-specific funding, is to boost our working capital base by accessing relatively cheap fund. This standby arrangement will enable us serve the big indigenous companies in line with the Local Content Policy of the Federal Government in the energy sector as well as multi-lateral companies.
