Bank balance sheets are no longer big enough. Trade’s new natural home should be with institutional investors. Risk is not priced correctly. Jonathan Bell interviews John Ahearn

TXF was delighted to welcome John Ahearn, global head of trade at ~Citi^, to our recent Trade and Supply Chain Finance Conference in Munich.

In addition to his speech at the conference, TXF editor-in-chief Jonathan Bell had the opportunity to quiz Ahearn on his thoughts on whether risk is correctly priced, guidance that could be provided to trade from the credit card sector, trade as an asset class and the thought-process and strategy behind the Trade MAPS 1 securitisation.
