RCB is an issuing platform enabling UK charities to raise medium term debt finance through bonds issued to retail and wholesale investors and listed on London Stock Exchange.
A sterling bond may follow, subject to market conditions”
What would be the likely coupon - I have some of the existing 5% CAF ( CAF1 ) which is trading on a GRY of 3.43%pa

Thanks Paddy for the link to the accounts.
Yes - I'd be surprised if it was outside the range 4.5% +/- 0.25%
Unless of course maturity is beyond 7 years
As you say a smallish charity within the care sector (but with medium no of employees)
Hopefully there be good security on the residential property.
Page 25 (note 10) Loans is worth looking at
Page 26 (Note 11) Operating leases, hopefully more information will be available on the nature of these leases in the prospectus
Surprised that there are only 5 HQ staff, out of 623 FTE
One would have thought there be more central support staff, eg HR, payroll, building support etc.
Agency staffing costs increased from £1.1m to £1.6m, which could mean they are having trouble in recruiting care staff
Otherwise the accounts look very professionally produced.
Look forward to reviewing their prospectus
Further diversification of my portfolio would be beneficial

Does that really mean that there will be no interest paid for the last six months of the bond term?
Means you don't get interest for the day of maturity
Thank's Oliver, I put an order in.
Hopefully this well run charity will continue to be successful, no doubt this bond will enable it to grow further into a market that is likely to expand over the next few years. Oliver's write-up provides a positive situation.
I have put an order in for these - it will be interesting to see how soon the offer closes.
I echo Shaun's comments about diversification.
My only disappointment was that the intial term was 9 rather than 7 years
Wozzitworthit and Shaunm have commented on Olivers comments but i can't find that here-can you please give me guidance where to find the write-up.? Many thanks.
