Reaping rewards from new opportunities

The covered bond market has seen rapid expansion in recent years. New developments in the market include a significant growth in the number of new issues; the emergence of new structured alternatives and changes to the regulatory landscape. In the US, Washington Mutual became the first issuer of covered bonds in September 2006 and many feel that markets in the US and Canada are poised to take off. Other new players include China, Turkey, Korea, Russia and the Baltics - there has never been greater opportunity for diversification and issuers and investors alike are keen to reap the benefits.

With the market set to expand further, IFR is proud to announce its inaugural Covered Bond Conference. This timely event will look at recent developments and trends in covered bonds and explore what the future holds for this highly lucrative market.

Drawing on the expertise of IFR’s editorial team, the Covered Bond Conference has been designed with issuers, investors and advisers in mind and will serve as a guide to the legislation, structures and investor opportunities within the covered bond market.
