CDOs/CLOs

On Wednesday the Securitization and Exchange Commission will consider whether to adopt rules revising the disclosure, reporting and offering process for all things asset-backed.

European collateralized loan obligations underperformed other types of securitization in the region in the first half of 2014, but Barclays expects CLOs to catch up on some of the ground they lost.

At an IMN conference, Tom Finke laid into a recent article in Fortune likening CLOs to both CDOs and troublemaking legacy RMBS. His message is CLO pros have to be better self-advocates.

Barclays analysts believe the regulators will find it hard to ignore a call last week by the European Central Bank (ECB) and Bank of England (BoE) to ease the rules governing securitization activity in Europe.

Creating a one-size-fits-all approach to collateralized loan obligations does not harm Wall Street, it harms American businesses.

The latest update to the Foreign Account Tax Compliance Act appears to grandfather most collateralized loan obligations issued before January 2013.

The Structured Finance Industry Group wants more time to evaluate proposed revisions to rules governing reporting and disclosure requirements for asset-backed securities.
