Yesterday, Cadwalader, in partnership with Fitch Ratings, hosted the first-ever Capital Call Securitization Conference at our New York office. The event brought together industry leaders and experts for an afternoon of insightful discussions on the latest trends and opportunities in the capital call securitization market.
The intersection of fund finance and securitization is an intense focus of the fund finance industry. So much so that just yesterday, Cadwalader hosted a first-of-its-kind Capital Call Securitization Conference in our New York office to an absolutely packed house with a standing room only crowd.
One theme that emerged at our cap call securitization conference yesterday is that the fund finance market will inevitably be shaped by bank balance sheet trends. After all, cash securitization and CRT are all about the flexibility they buy for lender balance sheets. We have been thinking about the broader context for the fund finance market for some time. In the attached report, we review big picture banking sector trends that help frame the context for fund finance. As always, we welcome your feedback.
With four major interest rate benchmarks ceasing to be published by the end of last year, we thought now would be a good time to provide a refresher on alternative currency rates. In this article we first discuss the key shifts that occurred to transition to more robust benchmarks for Canadian dollars, Singapore dollars, Japanese yen and Mexican pesos. We then examine the ongoing relevance of the base rate conventions for Euros, Sterling, Australian dollars, Hong Kong dollars, New Zealand dollars, Danish krone, Norwegian krone, Swedish krona and Swiss francs. With this information, you’ll be prepared to manage any related provisions in your fund finance transactions.

We’re excited to share our agenda for the afternoon, featuring a distinguished lineup of speakers who are leading experts in the field.

Over the past quarter century, many market pundits have asked the age-old question - has private equity outperformed public markets over the long term?
