Revolving Underwriting Facility (RUF)
A form of revolving credit in which a group of underwriters agrees to provide loans in the event that a borrower is unable to sell in the Eurocurrency market. These loans are generally provided through the purchase of short-term Euronotes. Investopedia Says:
A revolving underwriting facility differs from a note issuance facility (NIF) in that the underwriters provide loans instead of purchasing the outstanding notes that failed to sell. In either case, both RUF and NIF provide short- to medium-term credit in the Eurocurrency market. Related Terms:
