Over the years, the Securitisation Summit organised by Indian Securitisation Foundation and Vinod Kothari Consultants has become the most noted event of the structured finance industry in the region. Not only do we provide an excellent platform for networking and collective thinking on topical issues, we pick up points for advocacy, policy making and furtherance of interest of the industry, and then act on the same.

Indian securitisation market which has long been driven by priority sector lending now seems to be emerging with new asset classes, new investors, and of course, new motivations for both issuers and investors. It is apparent that the market is searching for new economic drivers.

Given the excellent response and feedback received in the past 7 editions of  our annual Securitisation Summit, we are now delighted to plan ahead for the 2019 version which is tentatively marked on Friday, 10 May 2019 in Mumbai.

We have also announced the 3rd edition of the Indian Securitisation Awards.

Draft Agenda

Session 1: The year in retrospect

• 2019 – What a year! Was direct assignment/securitisation the existential choice in 2019?
• The NBFC liquidity (and solvency?) strain and the direct assignment window – will direct assignments provide bankruptcy-remoteness to banks
• Moving out of the PSL barrier – is the market finally searching its right economic motivator, or does it still remain PSL-dominated?
• Securitisation for small players –minimum deal sizes coming down to enable small originators

Session 2: Innovations in Asset classes and structures

• Is the market ready to lap up new, non-PSL transactions?
• Credit enhancers and first/mezzanine loss providers have come up – is the market ready to look at third party enhancements?
• Green securitisation – are the prospects looking good?

Session 3: Off balance sheet, gain-on-sale and capital relief

• With IFRS sinking in, the market seems to be comfortable with no off-balance sheet for PTCs. Is that the universal approach?
• Gain on sale booking in case of direct assignments – is it distorting the quality of reporting?
• With no off-balance-sheet, is capital relief still the same?
• The need for revamping RBI guidelines – the major areas where re-thinking is required

Session 4: Investor diversity

• Are mutual funds still the major investors in the emerging regime? Concerns and conviction for asset managers
• The entry of HNI investors – is there a sizeable interest?
• Banks as investors – moving beyond PSL assets
• The interest of insurance and employee benefit fund investors
