Mortgage Market Update Part 1: Bank Capital Requirements and Related Developments

Global Financial Markets

In recent years, the US mortgage markets have faced mounting pressure from rising interest rates, declining originations, and heightened regulation, such as EU risk retention requirements. While deals continue to be struck, they are becoming increasingly complex and expensive. We have heard of a number of similar concerns from our clients with structures like warehouse finance facilities, and we have developed some ideas on how to address them through products like credit risk transfer trades. Please join Mayer Brown partners Brian Kuhl, Susannah Schmid, Miller Smith, and Matt Bisanz as they discuss these developments.
