Peter Lee, Euromoney Let’s start by asking why investors – particularly those in Europe who are newer to structured credit – should consider investing in this asset class?
Paul Czekalowski, UBS In a word optimization. Credit structuring means liquefying credit – identifying sources of credit risk and then transforming that risk’s form or characteristics. This forces you to ask more broadly: what is credit? A promise to pay? What kind of assets or contracts involve a promise to pay? Defined like that, “credit” can be insurance contracts, receivables, secondary insurance, reinsurance; it can be all sorts of counterparty risks and contract risks.
