RCQ's Founding Director, Edward James, and Consultant, Theo Pittarides were invited to attend Global ABS in Barcelona last week. They were joined by 5,000 other leaders and delegates within the Structured Finance domain.
Ed commented: “The market sentiment was positive, both from an activity standpoint and in relation to future hiring plans. Whilst many leaders were cautious about growing their teams, and many banks still have challenges obtaining additional headcount, those attending the conference were often in teams that would benefit from extra resources. CLO, SRT, Trade Receives and NonBank Lending were the most bullish sub-sectors".
The key takeaway points are:
🔶 SRT Investors are luring strong people from Banks
🔶 Those in CLOs are busy
🔶 The Australian Securitisation Sector is booming
🔶 US hiring is slightly more active at present, in part due to employment regulations in the US allowing firms to hire and fire more easily
