Global Reach
FSA has been active in international markets since we began writing financial guarantees in 1985, and we continue to build our international presence. Over time, we have progressively broadened the demand for our products in countries around the world and developed new applications for financial guaranty insurance.
Through our guaranty, we help expand market acceptance of cross-border offerings and increase the liquidity, marketability and cost-efficiency of financings within individual domestic markets. We offer financial guaranty insurance for essential infrastructure financings, municipal and sovereign borrowings and asset securitizations.
In our financial products segment, we issue structured investment products, such as guaranteed investment contracts that serve as collateral for credit-linked notes, and medium term notes that are customized to the needs of specific investors. We actively market these products in a variety of currencies in Europe and Asia.
Before writing insurance in any country, we conduct a thorough evaluation of the relevant economy, demographics and regulatory framework. In general, we focus on developed countries with appropriate legal safeguards and investment-grade sovereign ratings.
A Worldwide Commitment to Service
Because there is no substitute for being on the ground in key markets, we maintain offices in London, Madrid, Paris, Mexico City, Sydney and Tokyo to serve the European, Latin American and Asia Pacific markets.
As a member of the Dexia Group, the first European bank created through a cross-border merger and now the world leader in public finance, we are part of a fundamentally international enterprise. This affiliation gives us a unique set of resources for serving international markets.
