SYDNEY, Australia – November 16, 2022 – AMAL Trustees, an integrated provider of Corporate Trust, Fund and Agency Services, today announced a collaboration with Moody’s, a global provider of analytic tools and risk assessment capabilities. The collaboration will enable customers to leverage Moody’s market-leading structured finance analytics and funding optimization capabilities.
As financial institutions increase their loan originations, accumulated data volumes grow substantially, reaching a level beyond what spreadsheets or most legacy software can support reliably and efficiently.
This is even more relevant for lenders who utilize asset-backed funding structures such as warehouse facilities or term securitizations. In most market environments, and certainly during times of rising rates and increased risk of arrears and defaults, lenders are focused on ways to reduce their overall cost of funding, minimize any facility breaches and maximize their borrowing capacity. To enable this in an efficient and repeatable manner, banks, non-bank lenders and other institutions can greatly benefit from automated capabilities that alleviate the challenges associated with manual and more iterative approaches, to optimizing funding allocation across various asset-backed structures.
Moody’s ABS Suite Plus solution leads the industry in meeting these requirements, offering a powerful platform to manage large volumes of data, monitor asset performance and optimize the collateral pools associated with both warehouse and term funding. This enables institutions to achieve the most efficient cost of capital.
“The collaboration with Moody’s deepens AMAL Trustees’ presence in the structured finance space,” said Nick Procter, Executive Director at AMAL Trustees. “Adding Moody’s software capabilities to our already formidable data and services offering enables us to provide better solutions that improve funding decisions, reduce operational risk and promote transparency in the markets. We are proud to introduce the many benefits of Moody’s offering to our customers.”
“Pairing AMAL Trustees’ integrated services with our ABS Suite Plus solution provides a meaningful benefit to organizations looking to streamline operations and optimize their funding strategy,” said Marc Levine, Managing Director at Moody’s. “We are very excited to work with AMAL Trustees to help customers improve their structured finance analytics and funding capabilities.”
