Assured Guaranty helps provide funding for public projects such as the construction of hospitals, schools, roads and bridges. We have done this in Puerto Rico and in cities and communities across America. Our goals are to help municipal governments gain access to funding for essential public projects at more affordable rates and to protect investors in the bonds we insure from defaults on principal or interest payments. Once we insure a bond, we are committed to make up any shortfalls in payments by the issuer until the bond matures, which means we have a long-term investment in the health of the Puerto Rico economy.
