Talking about a (regulation) revolution

This week on Another Fine Mezz was dominated by host Tom Lemmon's love of talking about a regulatory revolution in European securitization. 

The European ABS market was quiet once again, but that gave time to dissect a research paper by Risk Control and authored by a who's who of securitization's regulatory big beasts. 

There are number of transformative proposals put forward, but perhaps the most crucial is the way it seeks to reframe the debate towards how securitization can help the EU economy grow.

Meanwhile in CLOs, CLO reporter Austin Barnes might just have had his first scoop with Acer Tree set to return to euro CLOs soon after an unlucky start a few years back. 

Finally, CLO reporter Victoria Thiele thinks she's found some more evidence to show that a first European CLO ETF is edging closer.
