This one-day event will explore how CFOs, rated feeder funds, and alternative funding structures have grown in popularity thanks to their dual nature as both a financing tool for fund managers and as an attractive alternative asset investment opportunity for institutional investors alike. These unique structures combine structured finance technology with a powerful financing tool, marking the first true intersection between both securitization and fund finance.

Topics to Be Discussed:
• What are collateralized fund obligations (CFOs) and what purpose do they serve?
• Market overview: Growth potential, new issue volume, investor breadth, depth and profile, key regulatory developments
• Different types of CFOs , i.e. Rated Note Feeders
• Fundraising considerations
• Who are the largest issuers, and why are they issuing CFOs?
• Who is investing in CFOs and what are the different investment profiles of the various tranches (rated vs. unrated)

Who Should Attend:
• Fund Managers
• Fund Finance Legal Counsel
• Providers of Fund Finance (NAV, Warehouse, Subscription, Rated Feeder Notes)
• Ratings Agencies
• Technology and Data Providers
• Institutional Investors (Insurance, Sovereign Wealth, Pension Funds)
