Regulatory Capital

Orchard Global has longstanding experience in (“SRT”). SRT is a synthetic securitization that allows banks to transfer credit risk of certain on-balance sheet exposure to non-bank third party investors to release or recycle regulatory capital. SRT is a non-dilutive, capital solution that enables banks to strategically manage capital both at the overall firm level and for specific businesses.

Orchard Global provides regulatory capital solutions not only through SRT transactions but also for credit derivatives within the Basel III regulatory framework by negotiating line-by-line credit exposures in large-scale, bespoke portfolios and structuring transactions to align with our risk/return objectives.

CLOs

For over a decade, Orchard Global has invested in collateralized loan obligations (CLOs) which are a type of securitization comprising a diversified pool of senior secured loans assigned to bonds with varying levels of risks and returns. CLO investors can choose preferred tranches made up of these loans that align with their investment preferences.

Our firm has long-standing experience and relationships in the CLO space along with an active management approach, which we believe allows us to better adjust for volatility and changing market conditions. Our positions are independent as CLO investors and are not affiliated with any CLO managers.

Our CLO strategy seeks to operate flexibly across the whole capital structure to:

  • Access primary and secondary CLO trading opportunities
  • Provide European risk retention compliance to US and European CLO managers
  • Employ hedging to protect against market volatility and tail risk
