The Founder of Capital Insights previously served as CEO during the establishment and launch in 2019 of Bayfront, a joint venture between Clifford Capital and the Asian Infrastructure Investment Bank (AIIB).
An industry-first platform, it enables banks to recycle balance sheet exposures and free capacity for new lending in transition and sustainability sectors.
Under this model, acquired exposures are warehoused and subsequently securitized into Infrastructure Asset-Backed Securities (IABS)—rated, listed notes sold to institutional investors, including insurers, pension funds, asset managers, and banks.
Bayfront, in recent years, has successfully issued six flagship transactions under the Bayfront Infrastructure Capital program, raising a cumulative USD 2.7 billion across project finance, corporate infrastructure loans, and bond securitisations in the Asia-Pacific, the Middle East, and the Americas.
Issuances featured dedicated green tranches that attracted green premia, reflecting institutional demand. These transactions set a new benchmark for a rated and listed asset class in Asia, domiciled in Singapore, and earned recognition through multiple awards from leading publications such as PFI, FinanceAsia, IFR Asia, GlobalCapital Asia, and IJGlobal.
