Ever wondered how Significant Risk Transfers, or SRTs, benefit both banks and asset managers? Banks that are charged with holding more assets are turning to SRTs to meet this requirement and mitigate risk, while asset managers are set to benefit from exposure to these assets – but there is much more to this story.   Our podcast host Nick Smith unpacks the dynamics of SRT with Orchard Global experts Charis Edwards and Tom Jørgensen, CFA. This episode explores the key questions for understanding SRT including, the mechanics of SRT, its benefits for investors, regulatory developments in Europe and the U.S., and predictions for the market's growth.   Whether you're a seasoned pro or a curious newcomer, this episode is your gateway to understanding the real-world use of SRTs.   Listen to the full episode today at: https://lnkd.in/ec36xxQu #privatecredit #alternativeinvestments #SRT
