Building on the success of the fourth Finance Dublin International Securitisation Conference in November 2005, this year’s conference will be a must attend event on the European ABS markets diary. The 2006 conference will have an investment focus as its theme. This will reflect Ireland’s niche position as an investment centre, and will hence also look at issuance topics, as well as structural, and legal and trustee topics with an investment/trading perspective.

In parallel with this, the conference will, while dealing with the key and emerging ABS asset classes, also provide a strong debt capital markets agenda as well, providing investors with a broader backdrop than pure ABS.
Alongside nine key panel discussions featuring global speakers from all disciplines within and outside the industry over the two days November 27th and 28th, the conference will feature a series of keynote speeches, on leading edge topics, again with an investment focus. Examples of papers will be how Basle II will affect the bank and other securitisation markets, and the shape of the next credit cycle and how history will, and may not repeat itself. A product focus will feature, with consideration given to emerging and new asset classes, including derivatives.
The conference will build on the successes of earlier years, and will provide a showcase for service providers, including in investment analytics and investor and trading services, as well as jurisdictional structuring.
The conference’s parallel introductory programmes (Securitisation 100 and 200) which were very will received last year will again be chaired by leading banker/academic and prolific credit author Moorad Choudry (pictured above). |
