Bank strategies for risk transfer and capital relief
Thursday, November 30, 2023, 3:00pm ET
Basel III endgame regulatory proposals could increase bank capital requirements by an estimated 5% to 19%, compounding stress on capital created by post-pandemic loan growth and unrealized losses on securities. Raising capital is expensive, especially given currently depressed stock prices. So banks are turning to alternative strategies to reduce risk-weighted assets. Join Tom O’Hara, head of bank strategy for Santander US Capital Markets, for a 30-minute call to discuss the appetite among private investors for bank loan risk as well as various strategies for balance sheet optimization.
