GTFSolutions Introduces Permanent Take-Out Financing Support for Brokers and Agents Across Global Markets
TORONTO, CANADA — GTFSolutions, a trusted provider of private financial instruments and structured funding solutions, is proud to announce the launch of its Permanent Take-Out Financing Program. This powerful tool assists brokers and agents in assisting clients in transitioning from short-term or bridge loans to long-term debt solutions.
In today's volatile lending environment, many projects stall after construction or initial development due to a lack of exit financing. GTFS aims to solve this critical gap by helping financial professionals secure permanent, long-term debt refinancing solutions, backed by institutional funding sources and enhanced by credit instruments such as Standby Letters of Credit (SBLCS), Bank Guarantees (BGS), and Conditional Approval Letters.
What Is Permanent Take-Out Financing?
Permanent Take-Out Financing is a long-term loan that replaces short-term or interim financing, such as bridge loans or construction debt. Typically used after project completion or stabilization, take-out financing allows borrowers to:
Lock in lower interest rates
Extend repayment terms (10–30 years)
Exit high-cost short-term facilities
Unlock additional equity for expansion
Increase project value through stabilized capitalization
This type of financing is critical for commercial real estate, infrastructure, energy development, industrial facilities, and other capital-intensive projects.
GTFS: Partnering with Brokers to Close the Loop
'Most brokers can secure short-term construction or bridge capital for their clients, but when transitioning into long-term take-out financing, they often hit a wall,' said Willard Dunne, Head of Operations at GTFSolutions. 'We're here to fill that void — and help brokers look like heroes in the process.'
GTFS provides brokers with structured support for permanent financing by coordinating with international banks, private lenders, and institutional funds. This allows for tailored loan products that suit a wide range of sectors, including:
Commercial real estate and mixed-use developments
Renewable energy and power plant projects
Port, airport, and transportation infrastructure
Healthcare and educational facilities
Hotel and resort construction
Large-scale residential projects
Case Study: From Bridge Loan to $35 Million Take-Out Facility
In early 2025, a broker representing a property development firm in British Columbia approached GTFS. Their client had completed a $28 million residential tower using a short-term construction facility but could not refinance due to the bank's tightening credit terms.
GTFS reviewed the project, verified revenue streams, and arranged a $35 million take-out facility from a European institutional lender, using a 12-month SBLC as credit enhancement. This allowed the client to pay off the high-interest bridge loan, free up $3.5 million in equity, and begin a second development phase.
'The take-out financing from GTFS was a game-changer,' said the broker. 'It gave our client breathing room — and gave us credibility with the lender and the investor group.'
Key Features of GTFS Take-Out Financing
GTFS's approach to take-out lending is uniquely structured around risk mitigation and client success. Key program benefits include:
Loan amounts from $5 million to USD 250 million
from $5 million to USD 250 million Terms ranging from 10 to 30 years, amortized
ranging from 10 to 30 years, amortized Fixed or variable interest options
Loan-to-value ratios up to 80% (depending on jurisdiction)
up to 80% (depending on jurisdiction) Integration with credit instruments like SBLCS, BGS, and Conditional Approval Letters
like SBLCS, BGS, and Conditional Approval Letters Available globally across North America, Latin America, Europe, the Caribbean, Asia, and the Middle East
Each financing package is custom-built for the project, with flexibility in collateral structures, repayment schedules, and jurisdictional considerations.
Broker Support and Participation
GTFS provides white-label, back-end support for brokers, ensuring they retain the client relationship while accessing global capital markets through GTFS's network. Services include:
Loan structuring and feasibility reviews
Preparation of funding memoranda
Lender matching and underwriting assistance
Credit enhancement advisory (e.g., SBLC, Proof of Funds)
Broker commission plans and co-branding options
'This isn't a cookie-cutter lending desk,' said Emily Johnson, Senior Credit Analyst at GTFS. 'We work directly with brokers to build solutions that make sense. Our job is to help them close — and get paid.'
Who Should Apply?
GTFS encourages applications from brokers and agents working on behalf of:
Clients with completed construction or stabilization
Projects exiting high-interest bridge or private debt
Developments requiring recapitalization or equity release
Real estate portfolios need consolidation into long-term debt
Owners looking to refinance for expansion or sale
Projects must demonstrate viability, operational cash flow (where applicable), and precise documentation. GTFS will assist in preparing complete lender-ready packages.
Compliance, Credibility, and Confidence
All GTFS take-out lending services are conducted with complete adherence to international compliance regulations. Borrowers and projects undergo:
KYC/AML checks
Instrument verification (when applicable)
Legal due diligence and escrow controls
Third-party financial audits (when required)
'We're in the business of sustainable capital,' said Linda Martinez, Legal Advisor at GTFS. 'Every deal must pass legal, financial, and ethical muster. Our brokers know they can rely on us to protect their reputation — and their client's future.'

Brokers or agents looking to assist clients with permanent take-out solutions can begin by submitting a basic intake form and project summary. GTFS will provide preliminary feedback, timelines, and options for credit enhancement or instrument-based support.

Is Global X SuperDividend U.S. ETF (DIV) a Strong ETF Right Now?
A smart beta exchange traded fund, the Global X SuperDividend U.S. ETF (DIV) debuted on 03/11/2013, and offers broad exposure to the Style Box - All Cap Value category of the market. The ETF industry has long been dominated by products based on market cap weighted indexes, a strategy created to reflect the market or a particular market segment. Market cap weighted indexes offer a low-cost, convenient, and transparent way of replicating market returns, and are a good option for investors who believe in market efficiency. But, there are some investors who would rather invest in smart beta funds; these funds track non-cap weighted strategies, and are a strong option for those who prefer choosing great stocks in order to beat the market. Non-cap weighted indexes try to choose stocks that have a better chance of risk-return performance, which is based on specific fundamental characteristics, or a mix of other such characteristics. Methodologies like equal-weighting, one of the simplest options out there, fundamental weighting, and volatility/momentum based weighting are all choices offered to investors in this space, but not all of them can deliver superior returns. The fund is managed by Global X Management. DIV has been able to amass assets over $646.69 million, making it one of the larger ETFs in the Style Box - All Cap Value. This particular fund seeks to match the performance of the INDXX SuperDividend U.S. Low Volatility Index before fees and expenses. The INDXX SuperDividend U.S. Low Volatility Index tracks the performance of 50 equally weighted common stocks, MLPs & REITs that rank among the highest dividend yielding equity securities in the US. Cost is an important factor in selecting the right ETF, and cheaper funds can significantly outperform their more expensive cousins if all other fundamentals are the same. Annual operating expenses for DIV are 0.45%, which makes it on par with most peer products in the space. It has a 12-month trailing dividend yield of 6.05%. Even though ETFs offer diversified exposure which minimizes single stock risk, it is still important to look into a fund's holdings before investing. Luckily, most ETFs are very transparent products that disclose their holdings on a daily basis. DIV's heaviest allocation is in the Financials sector, which is about 28% of the portfolio. Its Energy and Real Estate round out the top three. When you look at individual holdings, B&g Foods Inc (BGS) accounts for about 2.33% of the fund's total assets, followed by Ardagh Metal Packaging Sa (AMBP) and Altria Group Inc (MO). Its top 10 holdings account for approximately 22.32% of DIV's total assets under management. Year-to-date, the Global X SuperDividend U.S. ETF has added roughly 1.19% so far, and is up about 8.05% over the last 12 months (as of 05/19/2025). DIV has traded between $16.54 and $19.32 in this past 52-week period. The fund has a beta of 0.71 and standard deviation of 14.97% for the trailing three-year period, which makes DIV a medium risk choice in this particular space. With about 52 holdings, it effectively diversifies company-specific risk. Global X SuperDividend U.S. ETF is an excellent option for investors seeking to outperform the Style Box - All Cap Value segment of the market. There are other ETFs in the space which investors could consider as well. Global X SuperDividend ETF (SDIV) tracks Solactive Global SuperDividend Index and the Capital Group Dividend Growers ETF (CGDG) tracks ----------------------------------------. Global X SuperDividend ETF has $816.54 million in assets, Capital Group Dividend Growers ETF has $2.16 billion. SDIV has an expense ratio of 0.58% and CGDG charges 0.47%. Investors looking for cheaper and lower-risk options should consider traditional market cap weighted ETFs that aim to match the returns of the Style Box - All Cap Value.

Unlocking Capital: How to Monetize a Standby Letter of Credit (SBLC) in 2025
Las Vegas, NV — In today's high-stakes financial landscape, where traditional lending is constrained and liquidity remains king, Standby Letters of Credit (SBLCS) are emerging as one of the most potent yet underutilized instruments for raising capital without selling assets or taking on traditional debt. GTFSolutions, a global leader in financial innovation, now offers streamlined, compliant, and efficient solutions to help clients monetize SBLCS and convert bank-issued credit guarantees into working capital. 'Monetizing an SBLC is like turning a financial promise into actual purchasing power,' said Alexander Jean-Baptiste, CEO of GTFSolutions. 'Whether financing a construction project, bridging corporate cash flow, or funding a real estate deal, monetization turns your paper strength into real liquidity.' What Is SBLC Monetization? Monetization converts a bank-issued Standby Letter of Credit into cash or loan proceeds, typically through a lender or monetizing institution accepting the SBLC as collateral. Unlike loans backed by physical collateral (real estate, vehicles, etc.), an SBLC is a documentary credit instrument that assures the lender they will be repaid even if the borrower defaults. Monetization turns this credit assurance into funds that can be deployed for: Real estate acquisition or development Business expansion Trade finance or import/export contracts Infrastructure and energy projects Film and media production financing 'SBLC monetization is not borrowing in the traditional sense—it's a way to leverage a financial guarantee without diluting equity or waiting on long-term funding,' said Sophia Brar, CFO of GTFSolutions. How SBLC Monetization Works: Step-by-Step SBLC Issuance: GTFSolutions arranges for a Standby Letter of Credit from a rated international bank. The SBLC is issued to favour the monetizing institution (the lender). Verification & Compliance: The receiving bank verifies the SBLC under international protocols (UCP 600 or ISP98). Loan or Cash Disbursement: Within 5–10 banking days, the lender advances funds, typically between 60% and 90% of the SBLC face value. Repayment Structure: Clients repay the monetized funds per agreed terms (often 12 to 36 months), or the SBLC is allowed to expire if structured as non-recourse. For example, a $10 million SBLC issued to a monetizing bank may result in a $7 million cash advance within two weeks—enabling project execution or deal closure without traditional loan delays. Case Study: Monetizing an SBLC to Fund a Green Energy Project In early 2025, a Canadian developer received a $15 million SBLC from a European bank through GTFSolutions to finance a solar energy installation in Ghana. The SBLC was monetized at 85% LTV by a private European lender. The resulting $12.75 million was wired directly to the EPC contractor to begin construction. 'This funding would've taken six months through traditional project finance channels. With SBLC monetization, we broke ground in three weeks,' said the client in a post-project testimonial. Advantages of SBLC Monetization Speed : Receive funds in as little as 7–10 days after instrument verification. : Receive funds in as little as after instrument verification. Non-dilutive : No loss of equity or ownership in your company or assets. : No loss of equity or ownership in your company or assets. Flexible : Terms can range from short bridge funding to longer-term credit lines. : Terms can range from to longer-term credit lines. No hard collateral : The SBLC itself serves as sufficient security. : The SBLC itself serves as sufficient security. Global Access: Available to qualified clients in over 60 countries. 'Whether you're a developer in Dubai, a film producer in California, or a logistics operator in West Africa, monetizing your SBLC can be your fastest path to liquidity,' said Willard Dunne, Head of Operations at GTFSolutions. Who Can Monetize an SBLC? GTFSolutions works with: Private clients with existing SBLCs issued by rated banks with existing SBLCs issued by rated banks Brokers or intermediaries sourcing SBLCs for monetization sourcing SBLCs for monetization Corporations and project developers needing bridge financing needing bridge financing Investors and asset holders looking to deploy credit enhancements for returns To qualify, the SBLC must: Be fresh-cut or seasoned but unencumbered or Be issued by a top 50 global bank or equivalent or equivalent Be governed by UCP 600 or ISP98 Have a face value typically between $5 million and $500 million GTFSolutions also assists clients in procuring the SBLC through structured programs before monetization—ideal for those without an instrument but seeking non-traditional funding. SBLC Monetization vs. Fraud: Why Verification Matters The global financial market has seen an uptick in fraudulent SBLC offers, often promising high returns or unrealistic terms. GTFSolutions mitigates this risk by: Issuing only from legitimate, rated banks Verifying all instruments through SWIFT MT760 or MT799 Refusing to engage in 'leased SBLCs' without genuine backing Working only with pre-vetted monetizing banks and lenders 'Fraud is the Achilles' heel of this industry,' warned Linda Martinez, Legal Advisor at GTFSolutions. 'We only work with secure instruments and institutions to protect our clients from bad actors.' Frequently Asked Questions Q: Can I monetize an SBLC that I already have? A: Yes, provided the SBLC is unencumbered and issued by a verifiable bank. Q: Is this the same as leasing an SBLC? A: No. Monetization refers to converting a valid, issued SBLC into cash. Leasing involves different structures and may carry risk if not structured properly. Q: How fast can I receive funds? A: With verified documentation and bank-to-bank communication, funds are typically disbursed in 7 to 14 days. Q: Can I use a monetized SBLC to pay suppliers or complete M&A? A: Absolutely. Funds are unrestricted once released. Monetization Use Cases in 2025 Real Estate: Close a $20M hotel acquisition by monetizing a $25M SBLC. Film Production: Use a $10M SBLC to launch production before streaming platform payments arrive. Infrastructure: Finance engineering works in Latin America while awaiting IMF or government disbursements. Energy Projects: Kick-start renewable or mining operations while raising longer-term capital. 'We've seen SBLC monetization change the trajectory of projects overnight,' added Emily Johnson, Senior Credit Analyst. 'It's not just a funding tool—it's an accelerator.' Partnering with GTFSolutions GTFSolutions collaborates with family offices, project developers, real estate agents, and global brokers to structure SBLCs, facilitate issuance, and arrange monetization through its network of verified institutions. For Brokers and Financial Advisors Access to pre-qualified SBLC issuers and monetizers White-label marketing kits Tiered commission structure Legal support for transaction security 'If you're a professional looking to help clients raise capital creatively, this is a product you need to understand and offer,' said Robert Wilson, Head of Sales and Marketing.

Boeing Wins Order for 777X Aircraft: Should You Buy or Sell the Stock Now?
The Boeing Company BA recently secured a contract from China Airlines to deliver 10 777-9 passenger and four 777-8 Freighter airplanes. Additionally, the airline has options to purchase five 777-9s and four 777-8 Freighter jets. With global customers having ordered more than 520 777X airplanes to date, Boeing's proven prowess in the commercial aerospace market is further strengthened, ensuring its long-term revenue stability. This, in turn, might encourage investors interested in aerospace stocks to add this American jet manufacturer to their portfolio. However, before adding a stock to one's portfolio, one must consider other parameters like share price performance, opportunities as well as risks (if any) to investing in the same. Shares of Boeing have surged 12% over the year-to-date period, outperforming the S&P 500's loss of 4.4%. The stock also beat the Zacks aerospace-defense industry's rise of 10.8% and the broader Zacks Aerospace sector's growth of 9.7% in the said time frame. Image Source: Zacks Investment Research Shares of other aerospace bigwigs like Embraer ERJ and Airbus EADSY have also risen considerably over the year-to-date period. Notably, shares of Embraer and Airbus have gained 31% and 10.5%, respectively. This aerospace manufacturer has been making headlines since the beginning of the year, driven by a series of contract wins across both commercial and defense sectors, as well as several valuable partnership agreements. Together, these developments (expected to strengthen the company's resilience during periods of economic or geopolitical uncertainty) must have reinstated investors' confidence in BA, which got duly reflected in its year-to-date share price hike. Notably, Boeing began its 2025 media account with the announcement of a strategic partnership with Norsk e-Fuel in January, which enables it to invest in the production and availability of sustainable aviation fuel (SAF). In the next month, Boeing secured an order from the Japan Self-Defense Forces for the supply of 17 CH-47 Block II Chinook helicopters. In March, Japan Airlines offered a contract to Boeing to deliver 17 of its 737-8 jets, and BOC Aviation issued an order for the supply of 50 737-8 jets. In April, Boeing signed an agreement to sell portions of its Digital Aviation Solutions business, including its Jeppesen, ForeFlight, AerData and OzRunways assets, to Thoma Bravo for cash worth $10.55 billion. Rising air travel and an aging global fleet are driving demand for new jets and aftermarket services, which likely contributed to Boeing Global Services (BGS) unit generating a solid $5.1 billion in revenues in the first quarter of 2025. Future growth for Boeing in this market looks promising, with the company's upcoming aircraft offering 25-40% better fuel efficiency and lower emissions. With a strong $22.04 billion backlog, as of March 31, 2025, the BGS unit is well-positioned for sustained long-term expansion. In fact, the rapidly growing commercial air travel also bodes well for other aerospace giants like Embraer and Airbus, both of which actively serve the commercial aftermarket services market through their Embraer Services & Support and Airbus Services units, respectively. Boeing's long-term defense outlook also remains strong, supported by rising U.S. defense spending and major program involvement, such as the F-47 Next Generation Air Dominance platform. In the first quarter of 2025, its defense unit secured $4 billion in contracts, taking the backlog to $61.57 billion. Continued innovation, evident from its progress on the MQ-25 program, and strong government support signal strong growth potential for Boeing's defense offerings in the years ahead. In line with this, the consensus estimate for BA's long-term (three-to-five years) earnings growth rate is pegged at 17.9%, higher than the industry's 11.5%. Now, let's take a sneak peek at the company's near-term estimates to understand whether the figures mirror similar growth prospects. Boeing's estimate for second-quarter 2025 sales suggests an improvement of 18.4% from the year-ago quarter's reported figure, while that for full-year 2025 sales indicates a rally of 25.7%. A similar improvement trend can be observed from its 2026 sales estimates. Its quarterly as well as yearly earnings estimates also reflect similar robust performance on a year-over-year basis. Additionally, an upward revision has been observed in the company's near-term earnings estimates over the past 60 days. This indicates that investors are gaining confidence in the stock's earnings-generating capabilities. Image Source: Zacks Investment Research Image Source: Zacks Investment Research While Boeing offers strong growth prospects, it also faces significant challenges that could affect its operational performance, which investors should carefully consider before investing in the stock. Although the commercial aerospace market has been benefiting from steady growth in air travel in recent times, persistent supply-chain issues, particularly those arising from a shortage of aircraft parts, continue to affect the global aviation industry. This, in turn, poses a significant risk for aircraft manufacturers, such as Boeing, Embraer and Airbus. Looking ahead, persistent supply-chain issues are expected to continue to play the role of a primary growth inhibitor in the commercial aviation industry this year as well. Moreover, the recently imposed tariffs by the U.S. administration on imported goods might exacerbate the global supply-chain turmoil, resulting in delays in acquiring parts needed for Boeing's jet production. This might increase Boeing's production costs and strain its production timelines, creating uncertain challenges for the jet giant in maintaining its delivery schedules. This, in turn, might hurt its financial position. The image below shows that BA stock's trailing 12-month return on invested capital (ROIC) not only lags the peer group's average return but also reflects a negative figure. This suggests that the company's investments are not yielding sufficient returns to cover its expenses. Image Source: Zacks Investment Research However, the ROIC of its peers, Embraer and Airbus, is currently better than that of Boeing. While ERJ's ROIC is currently 14.24, that of EADSY is 4.71. In terms of valuation, RTX's forward 12-month price-to-sales (P/S) is 1.69X, a premium to its peer group's average of 1.66X. This suggests that investors will be paying a higher price than the company's expected sales growth compared to that of its peer group. The stock's forward 12-month P/S also seems stretched when compared to its five-year median value, 1.40. Image Source: Zacks Investment Research To conclude, investors interested in Boeing should wait for a better entry point, considering the stock's poor ROIC and premium valuation. BA currently has a VGM Score of F, which is also not a very favorable indicator of strong performance. However, those who already own this Zacks Rank #3 (Hold) stock may continue to do so, considering its recent share price hike, solid sales and earnings growth potential as well as upward revision in near-term earnings estimates.
