Introduction to Alternative Programs
Though private placement programs were originally designed to accept cash as the only basis for participation, a variety of programs accepting other types of assets have surfaced in past years.. Although there are programs that will accept lower asset valuations the valuation of alternative assets must be at or significantly above the $100,000,000 threshold. Over the past several years, we have been introduced to various programs that accept unencumbered, non-cash assets such as those listed below and each of these programs have their own respective valuation requirements.

BRAZILIAN LTN
Over the past several years, our SRM LTN Team has evaluated over 100 different sale and/or trade programs for Brazilian LTNs. All but one of those programs has been rejected, primarily due to a requirement to receive a SWIFT from the Central Bank of Brazil (BCB) blocking the instrument in favor of the buyer or trader. As the BCB is not a depository bank, they cannot issue such a block so those programs have never performed.
Recurring events such as inconsistent guidelines from the Central Bank of Brazil (BCB), downgrading of Brazil's government debt by credit-rating agencies, and turmoil in the financial markets related to AML legislation and ongoing BASEL banking requirement revisions have created an LTN environment that has effectively made it extremely difficult for LTN owners to navigate the complex processes required to complete an LTN transaction. Programs have had to restructure themselves, often multiple times. Even the one program which SRM Services has deemed feasible has been forced to restructure itself several times, at great cost, as a result of this everchanging environment.
SRM Services has developed a sizeable audience in Brazil where many owners of LTNs are seeking programs to sell their LTNs. To better serve this special audience, SRM Services offers information in Portuguese versions of its LTN Information and LTN Frequently Asked Questions pages on the following pages - Informações Sobre LTNs Brasileiras and Perguantas Frequentes.
For further information on our current LTN services, please review our LTN Information page and our LTN Frequently Asked Questions page or their respective Portuguese versions mentioned above.

HISTORICAL ASSET Programs
Historical assets that can be submitted for redemption/purchase are limited to government-issued bonds and boxes that were backed by gold when issued. These include Federal Reserve Bonds and Notes, Treaty of Versailles boxes, Chinese bonds, Chinese golden boxes, and some Mexican bonds (primarily Black Eagles). These assets are the most difficult type of asset to place into a program due to the extremely high rate of fraudulent submissions and the fact that most of the authentic assets have already been submitted and registered for redemption/purchase. While the valuation of these assets is obviously of interest, the most important issue is the authenticity of the asset. Registration of these assets for redemption/sale to a private party or trade has been ongoing for some time and most of the buyers have ceased taking submissions. There are, however, opportunities for specific assets from time to time for various reasons and the acceptability of any specific of asset may vary from day to day. As a result, SRM Services must obtain specific asset information in order to inquire about purchase or trade availability. Click here for more information on these opportunities.

IN-GROUND & ABOVE-GROUND ASSET Opportunities
In-ground assets include precious metals, gems and minerals not yet extracted from the ground. Above-ground assets have included uncut gems, cut and polished gems, jewelry, art, real estate, unprocessed precious metals such as ore, gold concentrate, gold doré bars, and refined precious metals such as hallmarked gold and platinum bullion. Programs for these assets require a valuation (appraisal, gemologist’s report, etc.) and must be held in a certified repository capable of issuing an acceptable Safe Keeping Receipt. Some programs require that the asset be moved to a specified bank or repository for the term of the program and/or may require a separate appraisal of the asset at the participant’s expense. Hard asset programs typically require monetization of the asset, sometimes by a third party, prior to trade. SRM Services currently has no knowledge of any viable monetization or trade programs for hard assets. Watch our Breaking News page for announcements about new hard asset programs that may become available.
SPECIALTY ASSET Programs
Specialty instrument programs have been known to accept other instruments such as CMOs, IBOEs, sovereign guarantees, surety bonds, and senior life settlements. These programs have gone out of favor in recent years and we do not attempt to stay current on these type of programs and we do not have access to any programs based on these assets.
