As the online lending industry continues to expand in terms of volume and variety of assets, platforms will need to ensure stable and diverse sources of funding to maintain this growth. In order to accomplish this, a robust and liquid secondary market for these loans is essential to establish. From whole loan portfolio sales, to CUSIPS, to securitization, this conference will explore efforts underway to ensure access to long term, large scale, efficient sources of capital that will underpin these growth strategies. This is the only event where institutional investors keen on helping to establish and invest in marketplace loans and securities backed by them will attend in critical mass.

Any marketplace lender looking to solidify their funding strategy must attend to learn about secondary market developments, and to meet with investors serious about deploying large amounts of critical capital into the sector. Any investor seeking a lower risk, higher yielding fixed income investment opportunity must attend in order to learn more about emerging best practices and standards, latest concepts in bank partnerships, and types of assets funded. We will also explore the ever changing landscape of regulations directed at the online lending sector, including those already implemented overseas, and what the possible impact of such regulations could be.
