Imperial Fund Asset Management executives were pleased to attend the 30th-anniversary edition of Global ABS, held June 9–11, 2026, in Barcelona.
Discussions throughout the event reflected continued demand for structured financing solutions, alongside the growing role of private credit and asset-backed finance as a funding strategy.
Among the key takeaways from this year’s conference were:
- The distinction between traditional securitization and private credit continues to blur, with private capital becoming a significant originator and holder of ABS risk.
- Innovation in underlying collateral expanding the securitization market and attracting new investor segments, while investors become increasingly selective.
- Continued investors focus on relative value, credit performance, and disciplined risk management.
- Growing adoption of AI, with implementation and risk management frameworks still catching up with its capabilities.
We would like to thank our partners, clients and industry peers for the valuable meetings and discussions that made the event so insightful.
