ebondpool was established
in 1999 to provide a clearinghouse for public finance services and information.
Our goal is to simplify the borrowing process for small and medium sized
local governments by forming statewide pooled revenue bond programs and:
- Limiting all costs
of issuance
- Lowering the underwriters
discount and insurance premium paid to underwriters and credit enhancers
- Providing frequent
market access

POOLING
= LOWER BORROWING COSTS

We
specialize in providing local governments with easy access to the municipal
bond marketplace at a very low cost through volume pricing.
The firm blends state-of-the-art
internet technology with traditional investment banking services to provide
local governments with professional and cost effective access to the municipal
bond marketplace. ebondpool's revolutionary approach provides infrequent
issuers with access to capital at a very low cost through volume pricing.
By combining technology, information, strong relationships and experience,
the firm provides a clearinghouse for counties, cities, agencies and special
districts for capital project financing including, but not limited to,
water, wastewater, redevelopment and other municipal debt financings.
ebondpool.com provides
local governments with many tangible benefits. Often, when cities, counties
and local agencies seek debt financing they often experience a difficult,
time-consuming process. These difficulties arise because the esoteric
financial markets for small and medium- sized municipal bond issuers are
highly inefficient for some of the following reasons:
- Identifying, assembling, contracting and working with a sophisticated
and knowledgeable team of professionals to guide them through the complex
municipal bond market is extremely challenging; and,
- The professional fees for underwriters, bond counsel, financial advisors,
trustees and credit enhancement are generally a very large proportionate
share of the issue.
By pooling several
borrowers together, the economies of scale allow for significantly reduced
pricing for the "pre-packaged" professional services. ebondpool provides
for reputable, simple and understandable project financings.
Currently, ebondpool manages the California Water and Wastewater Revenue
Bond Pool and has issued over $488 million to date and anticipates increasing
its bond issuance to over $500 million by the Fall of 2007. The firm 2004 added a California Tax Allocation Bond Pool and a California
Lease Financing Pool.
The Bonds are underwritten through its fully-registered, municipal securities
broker-dealer affiliate, Henderson Capital Partners LLC. The firm utilizes
its broker-dealer and institutional relationships with over 500 bona fide
Program investors to competitively market and price all issues.
