Structured Finance

Israel’s securities markets have seen significant growth in recent years in various forms of securitization and other structured finance transactions. Meitar has been at the forefront of this revolution, representing all of Israel’s leading domestic issuers of structured products. We have also represented foreign financial institutions in these transactions in their roles as counterparties to underlying derivative transactions, investors and underwriters. In addition, we have represented bank issuers and underwriters of Tier-1 and upper Tier-2 hybrid instruments.
