The securitisation significant risk transfer (SRT) market is set to reach an inflection point in 2026 as a number of regulatory investigations conclude. These investigations include a global review into SRTs, a US review of large banks’ capital frameworks, the EU securitisation package, and a new regime for Japanese insurers.

Fitch Ratings’ new market research report explores how rated SRTs can help both banks and insurance companies optimize their balance sheets, with a series of regulatory reviews during 2026 serving as catalysts for further short to medium term issuance growth.
