Episode Details

We talk a lot about leverage at the 9fin office (it’s kind of the story behind our company name, in case you were wondering) so it should come as no surprise that we think it’s interesting. But in the world of Significant Risk Transfer, it’s especially fascinating — and controversial.

You may have caught the story that Celeste Tamers, part of our growing asset-based finance team, broke last week about Deutsche Bank pulling back from offering repo financing on SRT trades.

In this episode of Cloud 9fin, Celeste and our asset-based finance editor Owen Sanderson pick that story apart and use it to explore the history of SRT, to help listeners understand why regulators are raising their eyebrows at the recent growth of this important market.
