As governments and public agencies continue to look to alternative delivery models, including public-private partnerships (P3s) and design-build-finance to fund infrastructure projects the traditional risk tools of the construction industry are no longer sufficient to allow contractors to compete in the new construction environment.

Stonebridge has teamed with Aon Risk Solutions to help our lenders better understand the many performance security alternatives available through Aon Risk Solutions, each designed to satisfy the liquidity security requirements of the lender while allowing contractors to stay competitive and more effectively manage their balance sheet. Through its strategic partnership with Stonebridge, Aon Risk Solutions can now offer its clients access to Stonebridge’s well structured financing solutions arranged through our network of life insurance companies, pension funds, and bank investors or directly through our Stonebridge Infrastructure Debt Fund.

For years, Stonebridge and Aon Risk Solutions have been active participants in the P3 and project finance market in Canada. Through this strategic relationship we can now offer our clients pursuing opportunities in this emerging asset management space,  the tools and the financing expertise to be competitive.
