Securities Finance Times’ Post

Last week, we held our first #TRS Forum in NYC, uniting nearly 50 securities finance professionals to explore the latest TRS market developments. The event highlighted key themes, including the growth of TRS driven by new regulations and rising interest rates. Central clearing of equity swaps is on the horizon, with discussions on agency TRS structures and the need to streamline post-trade processes. Join us as we continue to foster insightful industry gatherings across the globe.  #securitieslending #securities #fintech #TRSMarket #Wematchlive #MarketInsights #FutureofTRS

Competition is intensifying among credit-rating agencies for assignments to review securitizations of nontraditional assets, with Moody's Ratings, S&P Global and Fitch Ratings increasingly pursuing work in such sectors. And in some cases, they’re picking up work that otherwise might have gone to KBRA. An #analysis by Asset-Backed Alert has revealed several instances in which the Big Three rating firms have made their presences known in asset classes including #music royalties, whole-business cashflows and #solar-power equipment finance. Get the behind-the-scenes details plus other leading-edge news and authoritative statistics on worldwide securitization activities in this week’s Asset-Backed Alert, a Green Street News title. https://lnkd.in/euAbgSZb

Watch on demand: SIFMA’s Securitization Conflicts of Interest Webinar, co-presented with Mayer Brown: https://bit.ly/3qmRZM1 Earlier this year, the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission re-proposed a rule to implement Section 27B of the Securities Act of 1933, a provision added by Section 621 of the Dodd-Frank Act. This Dodd-Frank provision, intended to prohibit certain conflicts of interest in securitization transactions, is interpreted extremely broadly by the SEC's sweeping proposal. If not amended, these rules would threaten the viability of many common, beneficial transactions in mortgage- and asset-backed securities. In this webinar, we explain the SEC’s proposal, its potential impacts, and what you need to know about where the issue is headed next. #SIFMACL #compliance #securitization #ABS #capitalmarkets #financialregulation
