PMA/AIN POOLED FINANCING PROGRAM
An Innovative Path Forward for Community Infrastructure
The American Infrastructure Network, in partnership with PMA Public Finance, is proud to offer Illinois communities a new way to move critical infrastructure projects from the drawing board to reality. The PMA/AIN Pooled Financing Program allows municipalities of all sizes to access cost-effective financing - even if traditional government funding sources are not available.
How it works
- Local governments join together in a pooled financing structure.
- PMA Securities, a trusted municipal advisor with decades of experience, manages all aspects of the process - from bond issuance and insurance to regulatory requirements and reporting.
- The Illinois Finance Authority issues the pooled debt, which is wrapped with insurance from Assured Guaranty, providing a single credit rating for all participants.
- Public entities receive their share of proceeds for project financing, with ongoing investment and compliance management through PMA’s Bond Proceeds Management Programs.
Why it Matters
- Access for All – Both small and large projects are eligible to participate.
- Lower Costs – Shared issuance reduces financing expenses.
- Efficient Process – A single advisor streamlines financing, investments, and reporting.
- Credit Flexibility – Insurance allows communities with different ratings to benefit equally.
- Long-Term Support – AIN provides follow-up project services to ensure successful outcomes.
