Loan total return swaps are bespoke derivative products that are used widely by market participants seeking leveraged access to the commercial loan asset class. Because LTRS transactions lay at the intersection of the derivatives and loan markets, market participants considering LTRS as an investment tool should be familiar both with federal regulation of swaps, as well as market conventions and operational issues inherent to holding and trading loans.
A team of experts from Crowell & Moring will present an overview of LTRS transactions and recent developments in the market. Topics covered will include:
- Overview of LTRS structure and documentation
- Bankruptcy code “safe harbor” treatment and related concerns
- Introduction to federal regulation of LTRS swaps and dealers of LTRS
- Relevance of the SEC’s anti-fraud and market manipulation regime, including under new Rule 9j-1
- Impact of LTRS on the loan market
