Singapore largest bank DBS ($143 billion market value) has completed the DBS first synthetic securitisation transaction, referencing $1 billion diversified corporate loans. Synthetic securitisation is a Significant Risk Transfer (SRT) transaction, which will allow DBS to reduce regulatory capital held against assets for redeployment to new lending & growth opportunities. DBS current market value at $143 billion, share price +16% YTD, +45.6% last 12 months & +141.3% last 5 years. Announcement (30/6/26): “DBS today announced the successful completion of its inaugural synthetic securitisation transaction, referencing a USD 1 billion diversified portfolio of corporate loans. The transaction enhances DBS’ capacity to optimise capital and support client financing needs as the bank continues to scale its franchise across the region. In addition, this is the first such transaction undertaken by a Singapore bank, underscoring DBS’ ongoing efforts to broaden access to innovative solutions across the region’s financial markets. Synthetic securitisations, also known as Significant Risk Transfer (SRT) transactions, are widely used by global banks as part of prudent capital and risk management. Through this transaction, investors bear a share of the referenced portfolio’s credit risk, enabling them to gain exposure to loan portfolios underwritten by the bank. This allows DBS to reduce the regulatory capital held against these assets and redeploy it towards new lending and growth opportunities, while continuing to own and service the underlying loans. While DBS’ capital ratios are well above regulatory requirements, this new capability enhances the bank’s ability to support Asia’s rising demand for financing and reflects the bank’s ongoing expansion of its capital management toolkit. It also establishes a foundation for the bank to selectively execute more SRT transactions in future.”
