6th Annual Securitization in Latin America Summit (SiLAS 2007)

LatinFinance and Euromoney Conferences are proud to host The 6th annual Securitization in Latin America Summit (SiLAS 2007).

Securitization in Latin America is booming. Established sectors like consumer loans and Mexican mortgages continue to benefit from innovation and competitive pricing structures brought on by increased participation at all levels.

Whilst these markets continue to develop, Latin America’s insatiable appetite for growth has led to new jurisdictions coming on stream, as well as a whole plethora of different asset classes such as infrastructure, construction, auto-loans and microfinance.

However, with great activity comes fierce competition, forcing increased innovation, cost effective solutions and lower spreads on margins. New issuers are being joined by new investors, particularly from the local markets. Hedge funds continue to enter the market, far less constrained by the rigors of different regional regulation than traditional cross-border investors.

The Latin market is primed to continue to grow. The opportunities are raining down on all involved in this exciting market. But practitioners from right across the supply chain must be on their toes more than ever if they want to benefit from the increased deal flow.

Therefore, the timing could not be better for SiLAS 2007. Now in it’s sixth year, Euromoney’s Securitization in Latin America Summit is the most established conference focused purely on this rapidly evolving industry.

SiLAS 2007 will address the key issues that will lead to the further expanse of the Latin American securitization industry, including:

·  What new asset classes are primed for a surge in deal flow?
·  Can the Brazilian housing market really take off?
·  How can different regional regulation be primed for template structures?
·  How much innovation is left in the Mexican mortgage sector?
·  Is securitization of infrastructure assets a one year fad or a long-term game?
·  What role is left for multilateral agencies?
·  When is it best to take deals to the international market?
·  How can deal length be extended on local transactions?

Delegates at the conference can again expect to network with a senior crowd of over 300 international attendees including issuers, investors, arrangers, hedge funds, insurers, lawyers, ratings agencies, trustees, government representatives, regulators and multilateral agencies.
