Financial & SWAP Advisory Services

The New York State Housing Finance Agency (HFA), State of New York Mortgage Agency (SONYMA), State of New York Municipal Bond Bank Agency (“MBBA”) and Tobacco Settlement Financing Corporation (“TSFC”) (individually or collectively, “Agency” or “Agencies”) seek proposals from qualified firms (“Proposers” or “Firms”) as the basis of establishing a prequalified panel(s) (“PQL”) of firms to serve as financial advisor (“FA”) and/or swap advisor to one or more of the Agencies.    In accordance with the Agencies’ “Procedures for Advice Regarding the Issuance of Municipal Securities, Municipal Financial Products or Investments,” the Agencies intend to select one or more of the successful Proposers to serve as the Independent Registered Municipal Advisor for each of the Agencies.   The financial advisor may be required to provide overall technical assistance and advice regarding the operation of an Agency’s financing program as more fully described in the Scope of Services section of this RFP.  The swap advisor will provide advice on interest rate swaps, if any, for one or more of the Agencies.   This solicitation seeks to replace, not supplement, the Agencies’ PQL of firms serving as financial advisor(s) and/or swap advisor(s).  Accordingly, firms on any existing financial advisor and/or swap advisor PQL must respond to this RFP if they wish to continue to be prequalified.  Proposals may be submitted separately for HFA, SONYMA, MBBA or TSFC or may be submitted for one or more of the Agencies, collectively.
