Argentine Investors Continue To Favor Trust Securities




Domestic investors in Argentina continue to favor financial trusts (fideicomisos financieros) as their instrument of choice. According to financial services company Gainvest, during the first half of the year, $1 billion of the instruments were traded, a year-on-year increase of 100%. Of the total transacted, $712 million corresponded to securitizations with underlying private risk, with most growth seen yet again in the securitization of consumer loans.
