Assignment of Dr Scott Levy as Non-Executive Director (Structure Finance – IMCI+ Capital)
More than 25 years working in Financial Services around the world. For the last 18 years, asset backed securities, securitisation, debt capital markets, structuring, Islamic finance and asset management have been my focus and the impact of regulatory change on product development. Specific focus on legal and operational risk particularly as relates to marketing, the prospectus directive, AML and KYC. Cross border distribution and alignment with product development have been key to successes in opening new markets. Lots of shoe leather talking to distribution groups from Hong Kong to Bermuda (going west of course). Before that, offshore insurance and product development with emphasis on IT and operational/back office development (fintech of the last century). Time spent working with trade bodies (representing both insurers and asset managers) has been well spent. Training, education, and pontification through various online and printed media remains entertaining (hopefully not just for me).
Specialties: Debt capital markets, sukuk, commercial paper, risk management, legal and regulatory impact and analysis, AML and KYC processes and analytics particular for new product design and distribution. Design and delivery of investment solutions across domiciles with particular focus on assets and cashflow. Types of products include all forms of structured debt and sukuk (murabaha and waqala primarily) as well as a short stint in open ended fund structures (SICAVs and OEICs) and equity derivatives.

ALERT NEWS IMCI REPRESENTATIVES - PROJECT FINANCING, 2018
It seems that our success has attracted some individuals with dubious motives. It has come to our attention that there are some brokers and individual, pretending to act on behalf of IMCI Group, it appears they are signing contracts, presenting offers and then asking for financial payments. If identified, we will report them to Interpol and law enforcement in their countries of operation. This is criminal misrepresentation, and our legal department will pursue the matter to the full extent of the law wherever such individuals are found. We wish to inform that only the official Principals, Partners and the Senior Management are authorized to act on behalf of IMCI Group, all of whom are all visible on our website. Please double check if not sure.
Further to this only an investment director as well as a member of the senior Management Team is authorized to sign any engagement contract facilitating a financial solution. IMCI never asks money in advance, neither engages in any business, if we have not seen the client at their location of business and evaluated the project. Any business is documented and approved according our General Terms and Code of Conduct which all clients will received from commencement of interaction and signing of NCNDA.
If for some reason, you appear to have entered into any suspicious relationship with somebody pretending to be an official representative of IMCI, kindly send your full documented file to our legal department at legal@imci-group.com
Similar to many much bigger companies, we seem to have become a target, as the Internet and the virtual world, facilitates unlawful activities and defamations.
We will like to emphasize that clear procedures, transparency, actual personal visits, meetings between clients and IMCI partners and our history, offers a guarantee of serious and a reliable service.
