Leverage PNC’s Financial Institution Network to Optimize Loan Portfolios

Across a variety of loan types and characteristics, banks tap into the secondary loan sales and trading markets as buyer, seller or both for one or a combination of reasons – loan growth, managing sector or borrower exposure, geographic market expansion, exiting non-core assets, addressing legacy issues, swapping in higher yielding assets to enhance earnings, and monetizing assets to raise liquidity as examples.

While the secondary loan sale marketplace is an established market, it has experienced an uptick in volume in recent years. Annual loan trading volumes have exceeded well over $700 billion for the last twelve month period ended 03/31/19, reaching historical highs. The vast majority of these loans are performing and priced at or close to par. Since 2Q 2010, the composition of par-to-total secondary loan transactions has not dipped below 80%.

In secondary loan trading, PNC is well-positioned to assist our financial institution clients. PNC offers a variety of solutions to depository institutions looking to buy, sell, and securitize loans though principal trading activities for PNC’s balance sheet, fixed income product distribution, balance sheet advisory solutions group, and extensive relationships with over 1,200 banks, insurance companies, asset and fund managers, and other institutional investors.
