FT Live's fixed income partners with market leading associations

AFME

The Association for Financial Markets in Europe (AFME) is the voice of Europe’s wholesale financial markets, providing expertise across a broad range of regulatory and capital markets issues. We represent the leading global and European banks and other significant capital market players. AFME’s members are the lead underwriters of 89% of European corporate and sovereign debt, and 79% of European listed equity capital issuances.

Our long-term partnership with AFME enables us to create the best programmes, bring the best speakers and reach the most people ensuring that this 5000+ person event has the biggest impact for the securitisation and structured finance industry.

ECBC

The European Covered Bond Council (ECBC) is the platform that brings together covered bond market participants including covered bond issuers, analysts, investment bankers, rating agencies and a wide range of other interested stakeholders. The Council currently has over 120 members across more than 30 active covered bond jurisdictions globally and many different market segments. The ECBC represents over 95% of covered bond issuers in the EU.

We have been partnering with the ECBC for almost 20 years now on the world-leading Covered Bond Congress and, more recently, on the series of region-specific Covered Bond Roadshow events. Together we craft the perfect programmes and welcome new jurisdictions to the covered bonds family.

FIIN

The Fixed Income Investor Network (FIIN) officially took root in September 2018, springing from the collective insight of the IMN’s ABS East Advisory Board of Investors. Tasked with shaping the event's content, the Board envisioned an investor-focused association uniquely poised to invigorate the Structured Finance sector. Distinct from other associations with broader scopes, FIIN stands as the exclusive investor-centric body in the marketplace, dedicated to fostering open dialogue, enhancing transparency, and facilitating efficient capital movement.

FIIN was created from ABS East's advisory board 6 years ago now and we have been close partners ever since. FIIN also actively partner with us for the US CLOs annual conference.
