[THIS EVENT IS AT CAPACITY AND IS NOW CLOSED TO REGISTRATION]

Issues in Securitization Symposium

An Open Dialogue on a National Priority

Background:

Since the beginning of the crisis, the securitization market has essentially been closed for business.  While there have been numerous efforts to re-kindle the market, including various Federal Reserve programs, securitized origination volumes remain muted with the dominant activity being limited to the government insured market for mortgage-related structures.

This Symposium on Issues in Securitization is designed to bring together various industry thought-leaders on this complex topic, including members of the buy-side investment community, leading researchers and spokes-people, regulators, rating agencies, and financial industry supervisors. The format of the Symposium is designed to foster an open-dialogue around structural, market, and "new" product concepts, and will provide an opportunity to debate-and-confirm potential paths forward in the revitalization of this critical market.
