SCI Capital Relief Trades Conference 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?

Join SCI for our first US Capital Relief Trades seminar on 15 September in New York where we'll host investors, broker-dealers and advisors and provide a granular panel-by-panel analysis of the opportunities in this nascent sector.

How can you play a part?

DELEGATE TESTIMONIALS
SCI's inaugural Capital Relief Trades Seminar, December 2015, London

"I thoroughly enjoyed the conference and appreciated that there is finally a dedicated Risk/Capital Relief seminar. It was good to have an event which specifically focusses on risk transfer transactions solely. The balance between investors and issuers was good. Very good to hear and see investors at the same table and hear they common vies on the market as it stands. The networking is I think the most important aspect of this event, so appreciated the frequent break-outs enabling to catch up with almost all participants." SO, RaboBank

"We got exposure to the Reg Cap market which is very private in nature, and allowing us to network with various market participants was very helpful. Further, the content covered by the panel was quite technical and detail, which is very useful as well." TS, Barclays

"Was a good occasion to meet other market participants and interesting to get their perspective on market trends." VM, Nomura

"What was important from my side was that the event covered all aspects of CRT transactions from regulation, to structuring considerations, pricing and finally opportunities and relative value so there was no section missing as such." KK, Santander

"The event was very useful and well-organised. The most important aspect is the insight from market practitioners, and therefore the panel format was very effective." GA, BNP Paribas
