This workshop dives into the rapidly evolving intersection of digital infrastructure and the US asset-backed securities (ABS) market. Participants will explore how essential assets like fiber networks, data centers, and cell towers are being financed through innovative securitization structures. We’ll discuss current market trends, investor sentiment, and the opportunities and challenges unique to this asset class. Whether you’re a market newcomer or a seasoned investor, join for a practical discussion on what’s driving growth and where the risks and rewards truly lie.

  • What recent trends have shaped the development of ABS backed by digital infrastructure assets in the US?

  • How are these deals typically structured, and what sets them apart from traditional ABS asset classes?

  • What drives investor appetite and what are the main risks in digital infrastructure ABS transactions?

  • Is the securitization of digital infrastructure assets likely to become a mainstream financing method, and what does this mean for future market participants?
