SCI Global Risk Transfer Report 2023: New frontiers in CRT
Capital relief trade issuance witnessed another record-breaking 12 months in 2022, yet a number of regulatory challenges remained outstanding by the end of the year. SCI’s latest Special Report examines how the risk transfer community is addressing these issues – whether through regulatory fixes or structural enhancements – and the fallout from the turmoil in the bank sector in March. It also explores the new frontiers that are emerging across jurisdictions and asset classes, including by highlighting the potential of the Canadian and the CEE CRT markets.

Sponsored by Arch MI, Man GPM, Mayer Brown and The Texel Group, the report is available to download here.

SCI In Conversation podcast
In the latest episode, Matthew Bisanz, a partner in Mayer Brown’s bank regulatory practice, outlines how the Federal Reserve’s update on 28 September of the FAQs on Regulation Q is likely to impact the US capital relief trades market. The long-awaited guidance clarifies the definition of a synthetic securitisation and, crucially, states that a reservation of authority can be requested for direct CLNs. Bisanz, for one, anticipates an increased willingness – especially among larger CCAR banks – to enter into CRTs as a result.

The episode can be accessed here, as well as wherever you usually get your podcasts, including Apple Podcasts and Spotify (just search for ‘SCI In Conversation’).
