This half-day workshop has been designed to provide an overview of securitisation.  This includes - what it can achieve for issuers and investors alike in terms of funding, capital and diversification; basic structuring principles;  and the role of various participants in a securitisation beyond the issuer and end-investor (i.e. credit rating agencies, trustees, accounting firms, tax advisers, swap providers, back-up servicers, security trustee, legal advisers and arrangers).

The workshop is a case study based programme, bringing to life securitisation terminology and concepts. It should equip participants with a foundation of knowledge of how this sector of the market operates, its purpose and some of the current challenges it faces.

This workshop has been specifically designed for those who are working in securitisation or providing services in related areas, but are not necessarily in securitisation practitioner roles.
