44% chose bridging when asked to identify which cash flow assets would be most in demand among institutions, with 73% of institutions believing there would be growing appetite for investing in securitisations providing access to SMEs’ underlying cash flow assets.
High demand for property bridging finance has been spurred on by the buy-to-let market with 60% of investors anticipating growth in demand for short term syndication of this through bond issuance.
“Investors are clearly bullish about the prospects of the SME securitisation market and this is welcome news to specialist lenders such as Amicus which last week completed a £100m short term mortgage-backed securitisation to broaden our funding sources,” said John Jenkins, CEO of Amicus.
“Many long term investors see the attractions of accessing the rapidly growing non-bank SME lending sector and with greater standardisation and transparency we are likely to see greater numbers of securitisations coming to the market.”
