"EuroCatalyst is one of the few worthwhile conferences because the audience is senior and come from the leading players in each of the respective mortgage markets. The ideas and intellectual capital being shared goes far beyond recycled conference topics and touches at the heart of the most important issues driving the markets. It's also the only event that draws people who have stopped attending conferences altogether."
Hoesli Labhart
"I've been back at the office for a week and cannot stop talking about EuroCatalyst. My colleagues are beginning to think that I've joined a cult"
Fanny Borgstrom, Head of Group Funding, Nordea Treasury
"Hold your course and don't ever turn EuroCatalyst into a capital markets event. Keep focusing on the entire value chain because that's what really matters the most. You guys are the only ones who really care about everyone getting some value out of this. Just don't lose the intimacy once everyone else figures out that this is really where things are said, ideas are launched and relationships are formed that just don't happen anywhere else."
Will Ross
"You really have to experience it to understand it. EuroCatalyst encourages a participatory and three-dimensional dialogue in a way that is much more thought-provoking than anything I've ever been to. They have created a setting in which people are forced to think about the issues long after their events are over."
Helena Day, Vice President, Morgan Stanley Mortgage Servicing
"I found the event as stimulating from the audience as I did onstage."
Karin Lissakers, Advisor to George Soros, The Soros Group
"It was a spectacular event. It was also fun, and I really enjoyed myself."Alexander Pollock, Resident Fellow, American Enterprise Institute
(and former president and chief executive officer, Federal Home Loan Bank)
"You really have your priorities in the right place and it shows in your program. Thanks for the ideas and the meetings, we'll always be back . . ."

EUROCATALYST 2005: LIVE FROM ROME (Preliminary programme as of 9 August 2005)
DAY 1: 26 SEPTEMBER 2005 (MONDAY) / ROME HILTON
ITALY'S MORTGAGE MARKET STEPS ONTO THE GLOBAL STAGE / IL MERCATO ITALIANO DEI MUTUI ENTRA SUL PALCOSCENICO MONDIALE
**=to be confirmed
|
With the assistance of the Italian Banking Association, EuroCatalyst 2005: Live from Rome opens with a full day of sessions analysing
recent market developments in Italy and explores ways in which to develop and maximise the market potential that has moved Italy onto the global stage.
Opening with three powerful keynotes providing an overview of the Italian mortgage credit market, the event turns its focus on the operationalisation of the funding continuum for Italian lenders, and how best they can optimize and leverage their funding considerations to grow market share.
From there we examine the success of the latest products and look at even more product options in the Italian market with the "Dating Game", where prospective borrower types are lined up with lenders (the audience). In an increasingly competitive market, distribution is another crucial element to enhancing growth, thus we will shift our attention to maximising distribution and optimising administration in the Italian market. What impact have cross-border entrants had on the Italian market? The next session answers that question, focusing on how innovation and exploitation of market inefficiencies have helped foreign and new market entrants gain a foothold in Italy. Finally, we conclude the day with a Champagne Debate, pitting universal banks against smaller, more specialized lenders in a fun-spirited toast to the increasing strength and potential of the Italian mortgage market.
Per la prima volta, quest’anno, realizzata in collaborazione con l’Associazione Bancaria Italiana, si terrà a Roma (presso l’Hotel Cavalieri Hilton), nei giorni 26, 27 e 28 settembre, la conferenza internazionale sul mortgage credit e la finanza collegata, cui partecipano i rappresentanti di vertice delle principali banche operanti nel settore a livello mondiale (ed in particolare, provenienti da Europa e USA), nonché i rappresentati delle istituzioni multilaterali (World Bank, EBRD, etc.) Per l’occasione il primo giorno (26 settembre) dei tre previsti per EuroCatalyst 2005 sarà dedicato ad uno specifico focus sul mercato italiano.
La giornata avrà presentazioni iniziali di stampo istituzionale per una panoramica complessiva degli sviluppi e delle potenzialità del mercato italiano, per poi articolarsi in quattro sessioni organizzate secondo il modello del "talk show" interattivo: (i) l’ottimizzazione della gamma di strumenti di funding oggi disponibili per le banche italiane anche alla luce della recente introduzione dei covered bond; (ii) l’innovazione di prodotto e i casi di successo che meglio nel mercato italiano hanno risposto alle nuove tendenze della domanda; (iii) le strategie di distribuzione dei prodotti ipotecari e la loro gestione; (iv) l’impatto dell’attività cross-border sul mercato italiano e delle best practice internazionali.
La partecipazione alla prima giornata – che sarà interamente in lingua italiana - potrà essere acquistata anche separatamente rispetto all’intero evento. In entrambi i casi per le banche associate all’ABI sono previste fee di particolare favore

OPTIMISING MORTGAGE FUNDING BY LEVERAGING THE FULL FUNDING CONTINUUM OF THE ITALIAN MARKET
This EuroCatalyst session examines the complete spectrum of funding alternatives for Italian lenders featuring a cross-section of market players with differing strategies based on size, strategy and portfolio mix. EuroCatalyst presents a capital markets matrix to assist in options to optimize portfolio funding considerations between cash securitisation, covered bonds and senior debt. The matrix contemplates wholesale and retail markets, on and off-balance sheet funding and incorporating risk transfer and Basle II, creating a template to examine how to structure, fund and leverage mortgage assets in the Italian market from the perspective of return on equity, return on assets and return on economic capital vs. straight equity.
OTTIMIZZARE IL FINANZIAMENTO DEI MUTUI FACENDO LEVA SULL’INTERO CONTINUUM DEL FUNDING IN ITALIA Questa sessione di EuroCatalyst esamina l’insieme delle alternative di funding per il mercato italiano avvalendosi della presenza di players di mercato con strategie diverse di volumi e mix di portafoglio. EuroCatalyst presenta un matrice dei mercati finanziari che assiste nella scelta di opzioni per il funding del portafoglio, dalla cartolarizzazione, ai covered, bonds? al debito privilegiato. La matrice considera i mercati wholesale e retail, il funding a bilancio e fuori bilancio, tenendo conto del rischio di trasferimento e di Basilea II. Si crea così un modello per esaminare come strutturare, finanziare e fare leverage sul credito ipotecario nel mercato italiano, dal punto di vista del return on equity, del return on assets e del return on economic capital vs. la straight equity.

THE DATING GAME: THE CHALLENGE OF PRODUCT DEVELOPMENT TO CAPTURE NEW MARKET SEGMENT
Which borrower would you date? This session looks at the introduction and success of the latest products in the Italian market (high LTV, sub-prime and debt consolidation, equity release, buy-to-let and reverse mortgages). We open with a 15-minute version of "The Dating Game", to get the audience thinking about how underwriting criteria is applied to new products, how risk relates to mortgage products and how product development can be viewed in the same way that individuals apply standards and criteria to personal relationships. The panel discussion focuses on key aspects of new products on the market.
"THE DATING GAME": LA SFIDA DELLO SVILUPPO DI PRODOTTI PER CATTURARE NUOVI SEGMENTI DI MERCATO
Quale è il tuo mutuatario ideale? Questa sessione considera il successo di alcuni tra i prodotti più recenti nel mercato italiano (mutui ad alto LTV, a clientela sub-prime, per il consolidamento di passività plurime, equity release, buy-to-let and reverse mortgages). La sessione si apre con un approccio molto originale, ossia con una versione di 15 minuti del "gioco delle coppie" ("The Dating Game"), per stimolare la platea a considerare i criteri di scelta nell’offerta di nuovi prodotti, nella gestione del rischio per le nuove forme di mutuo e di come lo sviluppo di nuovi prodotti possa essere paragonato agli standard e ai criteri che gli individui applicano nello sviluppo delle proprie relazioni personali. La discussione si concentra sugli aspetti chiave dei nuovi prodotti presenti sul mercato:
High LTV; Sub-prime and Debt consolidation
Lavoratori a tempo determinato e immigrati
La presenza di players stranieri sui mercati meno serviti: come risponderanno gli istituti di credito italiani?
Quale é l’impatto dei nuovi mutui sulla gestione ed il servizio alla clientela?

IMPORTING SUCCESS: MORTGAGE FUNDING OPTIONS FOR SMALL TO MEDIUM-SIZED BANKS — THE COVERED BOND MULTI-ORIGINATOR SCHEME VS. RMBS
(hosted by Calyon Corporate and Investment Bank) The availability of covered bonds
as an alternative and competitive source of funding means that Italian banks now have at their disposal all of the tools necessary to optimise their funding. Even smaller financial institutions, taking a page from Spain’s experience, can benefit. Indeed, the “multi-originator” scheme in Spain has allowed smaller financial institutions to approach the covered bond market, something that otherwise would not have been accessible to them due to the high capital market barriers on entry. Can this success be replicated in Italy?

STRATEGIES TO MAXIMISE DISTRIBUTION AND OPTIMISE ADMINISTRATION OF MORTGAGE PRODUCTS IN ITALY
The increase in new mortgage products will lead to an increase in mortgage administration as
well as an increase in customers seeking additional mortgage advice. Although no exact
figures exist for third-party intermediaries, it is estimated to vary between 20 percent to 30 percent of the market and growing. With the landscape for mortgage distribution becoming increasingly complex, lenders will need to continually evaluate channel performance. This session looks at optimizing channel performance through direct, branch and third-party channels (both independent and private sales networks).
STRATEGIE PER MASSIMIZZARE LA DISTRIBUZIONE ED OTTIMIZZARE LA GESTIONE DEI MUTUI IN ITALIA La crescita di nuovi prodotti faràà nascere nuove esigenze nell’area gestionale ed aumenterà il numero di clienti che richiedono maggiore consulenza nella scelta del credito. Benché non esistano dati precisi sull’intermediazione creditizia, le stime di mercato indicano una crescita del settore con una presenza odierna che va dal 20 al 30%. Davanti ad una sempre maggiore complessità nei processi di distribuzione, gli istituti di credito dovranno continuamente rivalutare la performance dei canali di distribuzione. Questa sessione considera come ottimizzare la performance dei canali di distribuzione attraverso strategie dirette, di sportello e di intermediazione (sia attraverso reti proprietarie che via dei network di vendita indipendenti).

THE IMPACT OF FOREIGN ENTRANTS AND NEW BUSINESS MODELS: BENCHMARKING LOCAL VS. WORLD-CLASS PRACTICES A number of foreign players have entered the Italian mortgage lending business. Successful cross-border lenders compete by introducing innovation in the market and exploiting current market inefficiencies to gain market share throughout the mortgage value chain. Although their market share is negligible, new market entrants have
placed pressure on traditional lenders resulting in the drive for reduced costs, tightening and standardizing credit risk policies and improving servicing and IT systems.
Foreign lenders and new market players have the potential to introduce best products, processes and practices that can raise the overall performance of lenders in the
Italian market. This session surveys key new market players, introduces new business models and highlights world-class practices that can transform the Italian market.
L’IMPATTO DEI PLAYERS STRANIERI E NUOVI MODELLI DI BUSINESS: BENCHMARKING DELLE PRATICHE DI MERCATO LOCALI VS. LE BEST PRACTICES MONDIALI
Un numero di players stranieri sono entrati sul mercato italiano del credito ipotecario. Gli istituti di successo internazionali competono introducendo prodotti e modelli innovativi e sfruttando le inefficienze di mercato per acquisire market share attraverso tutta la catena del valore. Benché le loro quote di mercato siano minime, i nuovi players hanno fatto pressione sugli istituti tradizionali spingendoli a ridurre i costi, a rafforzare e standardizzare le polizze di rischio di credito, e a migliorare i servizi ed i sistemi informatici. Gli istituti di credito stranieri dispongono del potenziale per introdurre best practices di prodotto, processo e servizio che possono aumentare la performance globale degli istituti presenti sul mercato italiano. Questa sessione esamina i principali new players del mercato italiano, introduce nuovi modelli di business e mette in evidenza le best practices mondiali che possono trasformare il mercato italiano. |

| 1645-1800 | SESSION 6 CHAMPAGNE CHALLENGE: SPECIALIST VS. UNIVERSAL BANKING Economic globalisation has driven many changes in the Italian banking system. Before the Amato-Carli and Ciampi reforms, Italian banking, especially in the South, was characterised by small locally based banks catering to the needs of local clientele. Liberalisation and privatisation, along with the European integration process has led to increasing product diversification and cost convergence in addition to the creation of large banking groups and stronger competition. Reforms have also opened up the more autonomous Southern Italian credit market to external banking groups, which have taken over a large number of southern banks. In the EuroCatalyst tradition of a fun and spirited debate, this session takes a look at the weaknesses and strengths / pros and cons of the direction in which the Italian banking system has been heading, with a focus on the issues of Specialist vs. Universal Bank approaches to mortgage lending.
CHAMPAGNE CHALLENGE: SPECIALIST VS. UNIVERSAL BANKING
La globalizzazione economica ha portato molti cambiamenti al sistema bancario italiano. Prima delle riforme Amato-Carli e Ciampi, il sistema Italia, specialmente al sud, era caratterizzato da numerose banche locali che provvedevano ai bisogni della clientela locale. La liberalizzazione e la privatizzazione, insieme al processo di integrazione europea, hanno portato gli istituti di credito ad aumentare la diversificazione dei prodotti e ad armonizzare le politiche di prezzo, con la relativa creazione di gruppi bancari ed una concorrenza più elevata. Le riforme hanno anche permesso di aprire i mercati autonomi del sud a gruppi bancari esterni che hanno ripreso le attività di gran parte delle banche della regione. Nella tradizione EuroCatalyst di un dibattito divertente e vivace, questa sessione si propone di rivedere le forze, debolezze ed i pro e contro della direzione presa dal mercato Italiano, con un attenzione particolare alle problematiche degli approcci al credito ipotecario di tipo Specialist o Universal Bank
