KBRA Releases a Recap of the SFIG Conference in Las Vegas

NEW YORK–(BUSINESS WIRE)–Kroll Bond Rating Agency (KBRA) releases a recap of the SFIG conference
held in Las Vegas early this week. The main takeaways are:

• The overall tone was positive, but less bullish compared to
  September’s ABS East conference in Miami.
• Several investors said they felt compelled to take a defensive posture
  by moving up in credit, given slowing growth and with the Q4 sell-off
  still top of mind.
• This year’s conference panels were heavily weighted to technology,
  with an outsized focus on blockchain and artificial intelligence.
  There was also increased attention given to the market’s transition
  away from Libor by the end of 2021.
