SCI SRT Journal 2024: Bringing the market into the mainstream
The SRT market has and is attracting considerable attention, with unprecedented growth worldwide. Growth is, in fact, a clear common thread in SCI’s inaugural SRT Journal publication.
Naturally, with increased exposure and approval often comes criticism and scepticism. Evidently, this collection of essays and research confront the - often publicly voiced - lack of understanding of the inherent complexities of the asset class. This year’s chapters focus and elaborate, for the large part, on the catalyst seen through the significant (re)entry of US banks in this market. In this context, themes include supply and demand dynamics, regional banks and the standardisation of market terms. We additionally investigate developments in the unfunded mortgage SRT market and question whether Latin America is the sector’s most promising emerging market.
