Episode 8
In episode 8, our hosts discuss asset-backed commercial paper (ABCP) programmes, also known as conduit programmes, with industry experts and securitisation enthusiasts Guido Goldmann from Bayerische Landesbank as well as Timo Menzel and Marc von Scheliha from BearingPoint. In this episode, you will learn how Bayerische Landesbank and BearingPoint cooperate on ABCP transactions to make the process more efficient for originators. We discuss the current state of the ABCP market, the advantages of this funding source, and why these programmes are particularly interesting for corporate and leasing companies. Further, we address common reservations about ABCP, the complexity of the data and IT infrastructure requirements for these transactions, and how tools, techniques, automation and digital workflows can significantly simplify transactions and increase efficiency. We also dare taking a look at the future of securitisation, with innovations such as AI and distributed ledger technology (DLT) – will processes change for the better?
