SCI CAPITAL RELIEF TRADES SEMINAR 22 November 2016, London As securitisation shifts from being a funding tool to a balance sheet and credit risk management tool, balance sheet relief trades (as distinct from capital relief trades) are gaining traction. At the same time, banks are increasingly relying on retained/bilateral/preplaced deals to meet their liquidity needs, driving a large portion of European ABS activity towards private execution.
SCI CAPITAL RELIEF TRADES SEMINAR 15 September 2016, New York Banks are pursuing a variety of strategies to help reduce onerous charges on risk weighted assets (RWAs) and other non-core securities. How are banks structuring these trades, what are the risk and rewards for investors, and who is best placed to help structure and place these deals?
