Editor’s picks
Mortgage SRT booster voted down: MEP Caroline Nagtegaal’s amendment 596 to Article 234 of the CRR was rejected by the European Parliament in a vote this week, in order to prevent the establishment of an unwanted precedent. The amendment had been expected to boost significant risk transfer (SRT) transactions of mortgages (SCI 20 April)…
Questions remain over insurer participation: The European Commission recently published the Delegated Act on Solvency 2, which improves the capital treatment for certain ABS exposures, as of 1 January 2019. However, market participants suggest that STS securitisations deserve fairer capital treatment and, as a result, insurance firms remain unlikely to return to the securitisation market in great number…
PRA's tough stance continues: Banks have been reviewing the PRA’s significant risk transfer (SRT) consultation, which proposes a full capital charge for excess spread in SRT securitisations and is expected to reduce the capital relief that can be achieved by UK issuers.

Indeed, implementing a joined-up approach across the front, middle and back offices can benefit an issuer’s bottom line – not only in terms of RWA savings, but also in other areas of their business…
