Investments, financial assets, and restructured finance

Spanish financial markets are under major disruption since the traditional banking model is immersed in a deep structural crisis and a particularly adverse situation.

Banks are facing the fragmentation of financial players and a highly reduced market share in the wholesale, corporate and institutional financing markets due to the presence of newcomers, whether institutionalized or not. A very important part of the traditional banking balance and all or most of the deteriorated financial assets are currently being transferred to new financial entities that are not required to meet bank regulations, such as hedge funds, shadow banking, value opportunity funds, insurance companies, or even debt or capital markets.

During these times of crisis and transition, the financial service model is still in its settling phase and, while its definitive position cannot be anticipated, it is thought to be highly diversified and fragmented – the “institutionalized” lawyers that are framed within orthodox regulations have lost their value.
