Risk and Portfolio Management Associate - Asset Backed Securitization

Asset-Backed Securitization & Financing (“ABS&F”) structures and executes Asset-Backed Securitizations (ABS) and lending facilities across a wide range of consumer and commercial asset classes including automobile and equipment loans, leases, and floorplan, consumer and commercial credit cards, industrial transportation assets (aviation, rail and containers), student loans, personal loans, SME loans, solar loan and leases, home improvement loans, handset receivables, digital infrastructure and other esoteric asset classes.

ABS&F offers our clients the ability to monetize stable, recurring asset cash flows through bankruptcy-remote vehicles.  Transactions are executed both in the capital markets (where Citi places the financings with institutional investors) and lending facilities funded through Citi’s commercial paper conduits and balance sheet.

ABS&F offers a unique perspective as an underwriter of capital markets transactions, as well as credit analyst for lending transactions.  ABS&F also advises clients on balance sheet management, transaction execution and often provides secured financing and advice in conjunction with event driven transactions including M&As and restructurings.

Our clients include leading captive and independent financial companies, banks, and corporates – both in the US and abroad. Our group regularly collaborates with analytics, trading, sales, syndicate, derivatives, corporate banking, and investment banking professionals across the organization. Members of our securitization team are located in various cities around the world including New York, Hong Kong, London and Sydney.
