What We Do
Exchange Assets
A Range of Leveraging Options
Enceladus Development provides its clients with a range of structuring options to leverage and exchange their assets.
The leveraging of the client’s assets are conducted via bank-to-bank procedures in coordination with a similar structure brought forth by Enceladus on behalf one of its own investors.
For the client, its assets can be monetized by Enceladus according to a mutually agreed upon schedule factoring in a number of variables including risk, return and time, and exchanged for a wide range of other assets such as commercial real estate, equipment, commodities such as oil or gold, financial instruments or equity in other projects.
Provide Capital Investment

Enceladus Development’s approaches these asset classes through an organization designed to maximize the competitive advantage of its integrated platform. These strategies target issuers primarily domiciled in Europe, but also include Asia and North America.

He is the past Chairman of the Board of Directors of Wal‐Mart Central America following up on his family’s creation and operation of 530 of their own supermarkets across five countries, then the largest corporation in Central America.
