Matt Edgar sits down with Vadim Verkhoglyad at dv01 to discuss market observations in asset-backed lending, focusing on the complementary roles of private and public asset-based lending markets, and the increasing interest from insurance investors in asset-based finance. Key points include the robust activity in consumer installment lending and BNPL platforms, the emergence of home equity investments in securitization, and the innovation in financing solutions that combine public and private market elements. The discussion also highlights the growing M&A activity among asset managers and the strategic shift of finance companies towards fund structures to enhance valuations.
