Securitisation Quo Vadis Revisited

In Q4 2021, PCS presented a webinar entitled “Quo Vadis” that tried to sketch out the issues that would shape 2022 for the securitisation market.

When we look at the topics we dealt with then, we find that in every case, much as happened since then.  But we also find that, although securitisation has travelled a long way down the road – and not always in a direction or at the speed anticipated – in no case has we reached the end of any particular road.  So, this January we will reprise our Quo Vadis webinar to look back at how far issues did evolve in 2022 and whether this gives us a better sense of where we will collectively land in 2023 and beyond.

We will examine the future of monetary policy, whether any progress was made in respect of the final implementation of Basel III or in defining “green securitisation”.  We will try to lift the lid on the disappointing response to the Commission’s call for advice and discuss where policy makers might go from there and finally how all these threads blend together (or not) to weave a future for securitisation.

Securitisation Quo Vadis

As the year winds up, there will be many presentations looking into 2022 and seeking to map out the course of European securitisation in the coming months. They will focus on the many securitisation specific developments we can anticipate for next year.

In our “Quo Vadis?” webinar, PCS will seek to look both a little further and a little wider to reflect on the forces that may impact the European securitisation market not only in 2022 but beyond, from ESG to Basel 3, and how these may interact with each other.

The original answer to the question “quo vadis?” was, of course, grim and we hope that the European securitisation market can avoid the fate of the man who originally asked it. But the level of uncertainty is high and the spectrum of outcomes for securitisation in the coming years is wide. PCS does not claim to offer predictions or answers, but we hope to explore to those elements most likely to determine one outcome or another. PCS will also express its own views on what it feels will be the better options in the many decisions that are to be made in the months to come.

Sustainable Securitisation Today & Tomorrow

Like climate change, European rule making around sustainability and capital markets is moving with extraordinary speed.  So swiftly indeed that there are already a number of rules that impact securitisations today and are yet not always fully understood.  In addition to those rules, more are coming towards us fast.

As part of its Insight series, PCS has crafted a webinar that will seek to bring stakeholders up to date with the rules that are impacting or will soon impact European securitisations and those the drafting of which is already well in train.  The aim is to allow all market participants to prepare for the inevitable changes and participate in the shaping of those rules that are yet up for discussion as well as understand what is at stake for our industry.

Quick Background – ESG and capital markets

Tomorrow – what is coming?

  • Article 449a CRR

Where are the battle lines forming?

  • Availability of assets
  • Asset vs Proceeds

Synthetic STS Part 2

PCS has crafted an online workshop for all those who want to better understand the new STS regime for synthetic/on-balance-sheet securitisations.

It is designed for all stakeholders, from those with only the most basic knowledge of securitisations but interested in understanding synthetics to practitioners who seek to measure the impact of the new STS regime on their documentation and transaction structures.

The aim of the workshop is to provide insight and understanding around the rationale and approach of the new regime rather than be a “laundry list” of provisions and rules copied from the legislation.

We will also go through the practical lessons learned through those synthetic verifications that we have already conducted.

Part 1 Synthetics – An overview , Ian Bell ,  Dr. Martina Spaeth

Part 2 STS Synthetic Regime – Deep Dive ,  Ian Bell, Dr. Martina Spaeth
