Intimate Members-Only Event

The NAGGL Capital Markets Member Meetup is the premier forum dedicated exclusively to the capital markets that shape the 7(a) lending industry. As market conditions, investor demand, and the policy and compliance landscape continue to evolve, this one-and-a-half-day program provides a comprehensive examination of the trends, pressures, and opportunities shaping the future of capital markets activity. Rather than focusing on a single segment of the market, the Meetup takes a holistic view of the capital markets ecosystem—from loan sales and the secondary market to warehouse financing, securitizations, regulatory oversight, liquidity strategies, and the broader forces that influence capital formation and balance sheet management across the industry.

Designed for lenders, capital markets professionals, investors, pool assemblers, legal counsel, and other industry partners, the Meetup will explore the strategic and operational considerations driving today’s market. Through expert-led discussions, attendees will examine the economics and decision-making behind buying, holding, and selling 7(a) loans; gain insight into secondary market investor appetite, pricing dynamics, liquidity strategies, and market execution; and better understand how institutions are utilizing warehouse line structures, securitizations, and other sophisticated financing tools to support growth and manage risk.

The program will also provide an inside look at the operational role of the SBA in capital markets, including the Agency’s oversight of the secondary market, warehouse lines, and related activities. Attendees will gain greater clarity into regulatory expectations, approval processes, transaction structures, and the practical considerations that influence successful execution across the capital markets ecosystem.

In addition to market fundamentals, the Summit will examine the legislative, regulatory, and economic forces influencing the 7(a) Program and capital markets, providing attendees with timely updates on the issues, policy developments, and external pressures shaping the industry’s future. Data-driven analysis and insights from industry leaders and special guests will provide valuable perspective on emerging trends, evolving market conditions, and the outlook for the months and years ahead.

Bringing together many of the industry’s leading practitioners and thought leaders, the Capital Markets Member Meetup is designed to foster meaningful discussion, share practical insights, and equip participants with the knowledge and strategies needed to successfully navigate an increasingly dynamic capital markets environment.
