ABS East 2025

Imperial Fund Asset Management was proud to once again participate in ABS East 2025 — one of the premier gatherings for the structured finance community. Our continued attendance at this conference over the years has allowed us to develop partnerships throughout the industry, and this year’s event was another exciting success with a record turnout.

We were also thrilled to host partners and investors on-site at our headquarters in Fort Lauderdale, strengthening relationships and fostering insightful discussions on the evolution of residential mortgage credit and market opportunities ahead.

Here were 3 key takeaways from the event:

Deal Calls - non-QM has emerged as a notable talking points in the US mortgage market and structured finance. As annual issuance has grown, there is continued discussion around the incentive for issuers to re-securitize seasoned loans that carry relatively high interest payments.

Insurance Participation - Insurance companies have emerged as a significant purchaser of non-QM IG bonds. Discussion revolved around whether this participation, fueled by annuity sales, will evolve into separately managed accounts or purchases further down the stack.

Regulatory Focus - Following recent volatility in the auto industry, much discussion centered on safeguards against such turmoil in the wider structured finance industry. The success of these safeguards required the joint efforts of regulators, rating agencies, issuers and administrators.

Looking ahead, Imperial Fund remains eager for future ABS East events and continued engagement with the structured finance community, as we leverage our expertise to navigate opportunities and contribute to the sector’s growth.
