Structure before pricing
Structure determines pricing, so it is settled first. A rate quoted before the security is understood is a number without a transaction behind it.

About Empyrean
An international finance house, arranging capital against transactions that can carry it.
The firm
Empyrean Capital is the trading name of Empyrean Holdings Ltd, a company incorporated in the British Virgin Islands. Empyrean arranges project finance, trade finance, contract finance and monetization solutions worldwide, working with sponsors, exporters, contractors and the intermediaries who represent them.
Empyrean acts as an arranger and structurer. Capital is provided by funders, institutions and counterparties introduced to or already engaged with the transaction. Empyrean does not take deposits and does not lend as principal.
Mandates are considered worldwide. Jurisdiction matters less than whether the counterparties, the security and the payment mechanics stand up to scrutiny — and whether the transaction can be documented in a way funders will accept.
How we approach a mandate
Four working principles
The asset, not the balance sheet
A transaction is assessed on what it generates and what is contracted to pay for it — not on what it is hoped to be worth.
Early no
A file that will not finance is returned with the reason, on the first read where possible.
Discretion by default
Confidentiality is assumed on both sides from first contact, without needing to be asked for.
