Listen "Setting the SRT record straight"
Episode Synopsis
On this week's episode of Another Fine Mezz, it was something akin to podcasting musical chairs with CLO reporter, Victoria Thiele, taking over from usual host Tom Lemmon, alongside the return of new CLO reporter Austin Barnes while George Smith stayed firmly put as ABS reporter. With August now upon us, it was perhaps no surprise that there were no publicly placed deals in European ABS this week. However, George did manage to find time to rage at the low-quality opinions circulating LinkedIn on significant risk transfer (SRT) deals. Meanwhile, in CLOs the resets keep on coming. The triple-As may be wider but with such dramatic tightening on the mezz this year, the overall costs keep the arbitrage working and managers printing. However, looking further ahead, loan shortages might soon start to scupper the euro CLO market. And finally, last week, Austin left listeners hanging over where his weird accent comes from and this week he reveals all... did you guess right?
