The hottest acronym at this year’s Fund Finance Association Global Symposium was “CRT” (capital relief trade). The Cadwalader CRT practice has been very busy as of late as U.S. banks have sought their assistance to use CRTs to manage regulatory capital constraints. The fund finance team has been working closely with our CRT colleagues as fund finance clients explore the use of CRTs. Subscription line financings are a fund finance product that is particularly well-suited for these trades. On the first day of the conference, Cadwalader hosted an event for our regional bank clients to learn more about CRTs.
Cadwalader partner and bank regulation head Andrew Karp spoke with Law360 about his joining the firm from the FDIC and the current environment facing the banking industry.
