As expected, August was a quiet month for capital relief trade issuances. But market sources continue to expect activity to significantly pick up in Q4.

Among the transactions anticipated next quarter are two commercial real estate deals in Germany and a significant risk transfer trade between a British bank and Ares Management. Regarding Q4 activity overall, one source states: "It is unlikely to be as active as last year, due to the implementation of Basel capital floors, but we do expect activity."
