Subordinated Debt

A valuable tool for capital management
Whether issuing or investing in subordinated debt, Catalyst will get into the weeds to understand your goals and objectives and provide actionable intelligence to make those goals a reality.
Capital. Growth. Yes.

Building capital through retained earnings is stable and reliable, but it slows down your growth strategy. Do you invest in a new branch or build a capital cushion? Launch new mobile banking features in your app or re-position and grow to protect against the next economic downturn? 

Subordinated debt strategies, crafted with the experts at Catalyst, can help overcome limitations imposed by your organic capital levels without shortchanging your business strategies.

Investing in Sub Debt

Subordinated debt isn’t just for growing your credit union, it can be an attractive addition to your investment strategy as well. Investing in subordinated debt supports credit unions seeking to add a unique and attractive asset class to their portfolio.
