Revel Partners is pleased to have acted as financial adviser to Resurs Bank in connection with its securitisation of non-performing loan exposures in Sweden, Finland and Denmark. The transaction, entered into with Lowell, comprises approximately SEK 3.5 billion in gross volume and is expected to be completed during Q3 2026. It further develops Resurs Bank’s strategic partnership with Lowell and is expected to be P&L neutral while providing long-term capital relief, including by reducing the impact of the NPL Backstop framework. Based on Resurs Bank’s reported figures as of 31 March 2026, the transaction is expected to reduce the bank’s NPL ratio from 17.1% to approximately 9.5%. We are proud to have supported Resurs Bank on this important capital optimisation transaction and strategic milestone, and thank the Resurs Bank, Lowell and Mannheimer Swartling teams for the excellent collaboration.
Revel Partners was pleased to participate in SCI’s Significant Risk Transfer conference in Oslo this week, both as a proud sponsor and as an active contributor to the discussions. The event brought together regulators, issuers, investors and arrangers to discuss the continued development of the Nordic SRT market. Topics included the evolving regulatory landscape, mortgage SRT, capital optimisation and what is needed for the market to become more scalable and repeatable. Revel was also represented on the agenda. Josefina Frenk moderated the session on mortgage SRT, and Jonas Bäcklund joined the panel on balance sheets, capital and asset mix in the Nordics and Baltics. For us, one of the highlights was the opportunity to spend time with clients, partners and other market participants, and to exchange views on market developments, structuring trends and investor appetite. We would like to thank SCI and all participants for a very strong event and for the many thoughtful conversations throughout the day.
