Women in risk sharing breakfast to debut

SCI’s 8^th Annual Capital Relief Trades Seminar is taking place in-person on 20 October at the offices of Allen & Overy in London. Chaired by Pemberton Capital Advisors’ Olivier Renault, the event will cover the latest regulatory developments, key trends and emerging opportunities within the significant risk transfer market.

The seminar begins with an overview of CRT issuance trends and activity, including the impact of the introduction of STS synthetics on the sector. The following panels focus on regulatory developments, such as how banks are demonstrating commensurate risk transfer in practice, and structuring considerations – including how issuers are approaching synthetic excess spread.

Next, a roundtable will explore the growing use of unfunded SRT and the role of insurers in the market. A further pair of panels will examine issuer and investor perspectives on the SRT sector, while a discussion on emerging trends across jurisdictions and asset classes will conclude the panels.

The event will kick off with a networking breakfast for women in risk sharing, hosted by Allen & Overy’s Parya Badie, Clifford Chance’s Jessica Littlewood and Newmarket’s Molly Whitehouse. There is also a fireside chat between the ECB’s Fernando Gonzalez and Santander’s David Saunders.

Rounding off the event is SCI’s CRT Awards ceremony, which will be hosted by the BBC’s Tanya Beckett. This will be followed by a cocktail reception, sponsored by RenaissanceRe.

SCI’s 8^th Annual Capital Relief Trades Seminar is additionally sponsored by Allica Bank, ArrowMark Partners, Assured Guaranty, Barclays, Chorus Capital, Clifford Chance, Egan-Jones, the EIF, Guy Carpenter, Liberty Specialty Markets, Linklaters, Marsh, Newmarket, Santander, Societe Generale and Standard Chartered.
