First, they were called “shadow banks”, then they were “Non-Bank Financial Institutions”, neither of which provide much insight into what they are. Who are these amorphous NBFIs, and why are they under the spotlight? To define the indefinable, AIMA’s Jiri Krol is joined by Karl Wachter, General Counsel at Magnetar Capital and AIMA’s chair, and Martin Moloney, Secretary General of IOSCO, to unpick the muddled debate over whether an investment fund can be a bank and how it should be treated by regulators if it does bank-like things. https://lnkd.in/e6dCMgbi Among the many areas discussed are private fund managers’ risk management processes, use of leverage, and liquidity challenges. #nbfis #alternativeinvestments #hedgefunds #shadowbanks #AIMApodcast
