Are you and your team prepared for the shifting dynamics of debt portfolio sales and trading?

As the specialty finance team at Ashurst has observed, there's a growing interest in debt purchase as an asset class. Various factors, including challenging economic conditions, rising delinquencies, capital pressures due to inflation, and a maturing market, have contributed to this trend. Companies are acquiring loan books at an accelerated pace, driving the need for liquidity to support their growth.

Debt portfolio sales and debt trading were also hot button topics to come out of the recent DealCatalyst Specialist Lending Conference and in this second episode of the series, Matt Pentecost, leader of the specialty finance practice at Ashurst, delves into the debt portfolio sales and debt trading world with fellow partner Mark Edwards.

In this episode, Matt and Mark explore the dynamics of the debt purchase market, the convergence of specialty finance and traditional loan portfolio markets, and the challenges posed by pricing, regulatory compliance, and documentation in debt purchase transactions. They shed light on the evolving landscape and discuss how businesses are navigating these complexities.
