Introduction

Join SCI for the 5th Annual Capital Relief Trades Seminar

The EBA's paper on significant risk transfer has facilitated increased standardisation across synthetic securitisations, but regulatory uncertainty remains in terms of STS requirements. SCI's Capital Relief Trades Seminar explores how these factors are being reflected in deal structures, as well as issuer and investor appetite. The event also examines issuance trends, areas of growth and potential barriers to entry.
