From YouTube: Focus On #10 | MIP6 vs. TradFi
Description
Forum Post: https://forum.makerdao.com/t/focus-on-10-mip6-vs-tradfi/14628
Focus On hosted Eric Rapp @Eumenes from @Real-World-Finance and Christian Petersen @christiancdpetersen from the incubating Legal & Transaction Services Core Unit to discuss the MIP6 process vs. TradFi deal assessments.
The team first discussed the MIP6 process by reviewing the framework for fact-based assessments and the role of RWF core unit(s). The team then explored comparable aspects of TradFi Structured Finance Transactions and how the roles of borrowers & lenders translate to MakerDAO’s MIP6 framework.
A
Okay
good
because
I'm
getting
feedback
on
my
side
anyway,
good
afternoon,
thanks
for
taking
the
time
to
speak
with
us,
I'm
christian
peterson,
I'm
here
at
christian
stevie
peterson
on
on
the
forum
here
with
eric
wrap,
who
is
eu
menaced
on
the
forum
and
we're
here
to
discuss
the
differences
between
trentfi
and
the
mipsex
process.
A
Just
keep
going
sure
so,
if
you
could
move
to
the
next
slide
retro,
so
just
an
outline
of
the
presentation
just
to
review
the
myth,
6
process,
the
role
of
world
finance
and
we're
incubating
legal
and
transactional
services
core
unit,
a
discussion
about
traffic
and
a
little
discussion
about
the
current
self-contained
mix
that
had
been
submitted
to
the
forum
with
the
concept
of
right,
prioritization
next
slide,
so
just
to
discuss
myth,
6
and
just
to
kind
of
set
up
some
facts
for
the
community
to
understand.
A
We
try
to
address
that
diversity
and
that
diversity
is
great.
It
just
makes
things
a
bit
more
complicated.
We
try
to
address
some
of
the
complication
that
arose
from
that
diversity
by
publishing
in
mid-january,
a
methodology
for
structured
finance,
and
that
was
to
identify
some
general
principles
that
six
applicants
could
try
to
follow
when
submitting
an
application
again,
trying
to
homogenize
a
little
bit.
A
The
process
which
goes
to
my
next
point,
which
is
finance
agreements
themselves,
are
not
homogenous,
and
what
I
mean
is
we
don't
prepare
the
initial
terms
and
conditions,
and
that
means
that
the
terms
and
conditions
are
going
to
vary
between
six
applications.
Unfortunately,
finance
agreements,
even
in
the
real
world,
let
alone
in
t5,
are
not
like.
A
Some
of
the
applications
are
many
of
not
that
we're
getting
better
many
knit
six
and
self-contained
mip
applications
actually
do
not
provide
a
fully
defined
transaction
structure,
although
none
of
them
actually
provide
a
strath
transaction
documents
or
even
a
term
sheet
to
facilitate
a
comprehensive
and
mean
meaningful
review
and
you'll
see
why
this
is
important
in
the
next
few
slides.
So
next
slide.
A
B
A
By
the
way,
there's
hundreds
of
terms
in
a
transaction,
but
just
for
example,
you
have
term
one.
So
the
first
thing
we
do
is
determine
whether
that
term
is
quote
acceptable.
Okay,
what
does
acceptable
mean
acceptable
means
that
we
look
at
that
term
based
on
reasonable
market
standards.
So
if
it's
a
real
estate
deal,
we
kind
of
try
to
understand
what
the
real
estate
market
has
for
that
particular
standard.
A
A
A
A
Well,
what
if
term
one
is
better,
it's
actually
better.
So
it's
not
just
acceptable,
but
it
would
be
better
for
maker
if
the
term
is
modified
to
include
b.
So
it's
now
term,
one
plus
b,
is
that
okay,
you
know
is,
is
our
role
to
look
out
for
the
best
interests
of
maker
by
proposing
a
term
that
may
be
better
for
maker
than
just
term
or
term
one
plus
a
you
know
what,
if
the
term
isn't
acceptable
at
all,
you
know:
can
we
counter
propose?
A
A
So
what
is
reasonable?
What
is
market,
whose
market
standard
and
are
any
of
the
counter
proposals
in
examples?
Two
three
or
four,
where
we
are
quote
countering,
is
that
a
private
entanglement,
the
term
private
entanglement
seems
to
be
thrown
a
lot
around
a
lot
of
the
community.
Are
we
engaged
in
private
entanglement
because
we
are
proposing
a
term
that
may
be
more
beneficial
to
maker?
A
B
A
Of
the
story,
we
move
on
to
the
next
next
point
and
then
give
a
response
to
the
community
on
a
point
by
point
basis
that
this
term
is
not
acceptable
or
you
know.
Are
we
at
that
point
exceeding
our
role
as
assassin
you
know
in
in
the
real
world?
You
would
negotiate,
you
would
say:
okay.
Well,
I
get
term
one
but
yeah
term,
one
a
is
better
or
term
one
b
is
better
for
maker.
A
A
And-
and
it
really
all
comes
down
to
a
little
bit
of
a
debate
regarding
decentralization
and
centralization,
and
the
role
of
the
real
world
finance
and
transaction
and
services
core
units
in
this
process.
Now,
as
a
lawyer
to
me,
everything
is
on
the
spectrum
and
I
can
find
a
point
all
along
that
spectrum.
A
But
first
and
foremost,
I
want
to
make
sure
everybody
understands.
We
are
very,
very
clear
abundantly
clear
that
we
do
not
approve
reject,
or
you
know
that
basically
maker
governance
approves
rejects
or
modifies
transactions
in
all
cases,
all
we
can
do
is
in
some
sense,
try
to
get
the
best
deal
for
maker
and
make
a
recommendation.
A
A
There's
an
extremist
centralization
where
we
prepare
the
underlying
agreements,
we
control
the
entire
process
and
then,
frankly,
in
the
real
world.
Most
lenders
are
on
this
side
of
central
organization.
Now,
even
even
as
much
as
whose
council
prepares
the
documents,
typically
typically
lender's
counsel
will
prepare
the
documents.
That
means
we
would
in
theory,
if
we
were
the
lender,
control
the
entire
process.
You
know
we've
taken
the
you
that
we
that's
perhaps
too
much
centralization.
B
A
C
The
christian
can
I
give
an
example
on
that
christian's
point.
Let's
say
it's
a
term
that
really
matters
in
the
perspective
borrower
comes
and
they
want
100
advance
rate.
You
know
I
wanted
to
you
know
so
you
know
essentially
when
they
make
a
loan
to
someone
else.
We
give
them.
You
know
100
cents
on
the
dollar,
so
they
have
really
no
equity,
no
skin
in
the
game,
and
you
know
perhaps
the
real
in
the
real
world
market.
C
Maybe
they
ought
to
begin
80
advance
rate
typically
and
they
come
to
us
and
ask
maker
and
ask
for
100.
You
know
I
mean
it's
really
a
fundamental
question
of
how
is
maker
going
to
think
about
that
one.
It's
it's!
It's
way
off
market.
You
know
if
the
real
world's
saying
it's
80
and
they
want
20
more
advance
rate.
What
they're
really
saying
is
hey.
We
want
to
be
cheap
and
not
you
have
to
spend
the
equity
out
of
our
pockets.
You
know.
C
Normally
you
need
to
raise
equity,
you
know
to
help
build
your
business
and
you
know
give
the
lender
some
cushion
some.
You
know
first
loss
position
and
they're,
basically
telling
maker
hey.
We
don't
want
to
do
that.
You
know
we
want
to,
you,
know,
have
all
the
upside
and
you
get
all
the
downside,
and
so
how
do
you?
How
is
maker
supposed
to
you
know
make
a
decision
on
that
I
mean
to
some
of
us
who've
been
in
the
business
a
long
time.
C
I
mean
it's
kind
of
absurd,
you
know,
but
we
do
get
these
asks.
You
know,
and
it's
really
I
guess
we
want
to
ask
maker
as
a
community.
You
know
how
do
you
want
to
think
about
these
things
and
respond
to
them?
You
know
I
mean,
because
I
can
tell
you
yeah,
it
looks
stupid
or
it
looks
ridiculously
off-market,
but
you
know
it's
not
my
place
to
say
no,
I
mean
I'll
just
say:
hey
it's
ridiculously
off-market.
C
C
You
know
that
no
smart
lender
from
my
perspective
in
this
business
20
years
would
do
they'd,
laugh
at
you
and
say:
leave
okay
next
slide,
please
all
right
so
when
in
the
traditional
world,
let's
talk
about
how
they
do
a
structured
finance
transaction,
you
know
what's
the
process,
you
know
how
do
they
do
things?
What
do
they
look
for?
First?
You
know,
let's
think
about
what
are
the
lender
and
the
borrower
looking
for
what
are
their
priorities,
then
we're
going
to
talk,
you
know.
Typically,
you
know
the
borrower.
C
You
know
it's
going
to
be
seeking
financing.
You
know,
then
the
borrower
is
going
to
prepare
and
propose
some
type
of
offering
you
know
to
potential
lenders,
and
usually
you
don't
go
to
just
one
lender.
You
know
I'm
having
been
on
the
other
side
of
this.
You
know
we
probably
start
out
with
10
or
15
potential
lenders
and
you
funnel
it
down.
You
know
you
typically
want
to
go,
get
a
few
different
offers
and
have
some
idea
of
getting.
C
You
know
the
best
terms
out
there
you
know
so
in
a
sense,
I
get
a
little
worried
when
lenders
come
only
to
us,
you
know
and
we
seem
to
be
their
only
target
to
get
funds.
You
know
it
puts
us
in
a
weird
spot,
but,
assuming
like
the
borrower,
presents
something
that
that
makes
ballpark
sense.
You
know
they
will
engage
with
the
lender
the
potential
lender.
You
know,
I
call
this
an
initial
engagement
and
you
know
then
the
we'll
talk
about
these
steps.
More
then
they'll
go
on.
You
know
if
they
both
agree.
C
Roughly
on
here's
a
deal,
you
will
call
that
a
term
sheet.
You
know
it's
a
written
agreement
that
that
isn't
binding
but
in
a
sense
both
sides
you're
saying
here's,
the
rough
terms.
We
think
a
deal
can
be
done
at
and
let's
do
a
lot
more
work
and
make
sure
it
works
and
I'd
say,
probably
more
often
than
not.
The
term
sheets
actually
go
on
and
closes,
but
sometimes
particularly
you'll
find
lenders
may
back
out
because
they'll
find
what
they
were
told
by
the
borrower.
You
know
in
the
early
stages.
It
isn't
really
quite
true.
C
C
Then
let's
talk
a
bit
about.
You
know
the
kind
of
key
terms
and
there's
many
of
them
and
then
also,
let's
talk
about
trad
five
versus
the
defy
on
boarding
process.
You
know
just
to
step
back
and
think
of
some
of
these
points.
There's
definitely
some
there's.
Definitely
some
key
points
to
think
about.
So
next
slide,
please
all
right.
So
what
are
the
priorities?
C
Well,
as
a
lender,
you
know
you
want
quality
collateral
right,
that's
very
highly
repaid
likely
to
repay
the
loan.
You
know
you're,
not
in
the
business
of
losing
money,
and
if
your
typical
lender,
you
know
stuff
we're
looking
at,
is
probably
getting
two
to
four
percent
interest
rate
a
year.
You
you,
you
can
have
very
few
losses.
You
don't
even
break
even
just
think
about
that.
C
If
you
get
a
two
percent
annual
interest
rate
and
you
suffer
a
five
percent
loss
a
year
on
average
you're
giving
away
three
cents
out
of
your
pocket
a
year
right,
you
know
that
just
doesn't
work.
So,
if
you're,
if
you're
going
to
have
a
low
single
digit
interest
rate,
that's
telling
you
your
interest.
Rate's
gotta,
I
mean
your
risk
levels
got
to
be
low,
and
so
the
lender
wants
to
have
people
that
repay
them.
They
also
want
an
efficient,
transparent
and
consistent
review
process.
Why
do
you
want
this?
C
It's
not
just
you're
a
good
person,
though
I
think
this
is
fair.
You
want
to
attract
quality
borrowers.
You
know
good
borrowers
want
to
work
with.
You
know
good,
reasonable
lenders.
You
know
you
don't
expect
the
the
borrowers.
Don't
expect
the
lender
to
be
your
friend,
but
you
want
to
know
where
they're
coming
from
you
know
and
think,
like
it's
a
reasonable
process,
you
know
where
both
parties
are
engaging
in
good
faith
and
trying
to
get
to
a
good
result,
I.e
a
transaction
and
what
are
the
borrower
priorities?
C
Well,
of
course
you
know
they
want
a
good,
predictable
review
process.
They
want
to
engage
with
lenders.
You
know
that
they
think
they
have
a
good
chance
of
doing
business
with
the
borrower
wants
to
have
someone
that
once
they
agree
kind
of
on
key
terms
or
come
to
a
term
sheet
that
the
lender
has
a
reputation,
that's
earned
that
they,
actually
you
know
they
they
will
close
on
the
kind
of
term
sheet
they
they
close
at
most
of
their
term
sheets.
C
You
know
they
don't
walk
away
in
the
middle
of
transactions
unless
there's
a
really
good
reason,
yup
and
so,
and
when
you
think
about
once
the
term
sheets
agreed
to
that's
when
you
start
spending
a
lot
of
legal
bills,
actually
documenting
things,
and
typically
the
borrower
pays
this.
So
again,
they
only
want
to
start
working
on
legal
documents
with
lenders
that
are,
you
know,
have
a
good
reputation
and
it's
earned
for
following
through
once
they
say
they
like
a
transaction
next
slide.
Please.
C
So
how
does
it
start
well?
The
borrower,
for
some
reason
needs
financing
and
how
do
they
do
this
they're
going
to
prepare
a
financing
proposal
for
potential
lenders?
You
know
essentially,
like
a
memorandum
saying
you
know,
here's
who
we
are,
here's,
why
we
want
financing
here's,
what
it's
going
to
be
used
for
and
then
typically
they'll
make
it
kind
of
a
term
sheet
proposal.
You
know
maybe
a
five
to
ten
page
document
outlining
key
terms.
You
know
a
number
of
the
key
terms.
They
might
leave
the
specifics
blank.
C
You
know,
but
they're
just
trying
to
show
the
lender
roughly
what
they're,
looking
for?
Typically
a
borrower
may
invest,
engage
in
investment
bank
kind
of
think
of
this
as
a
structuring
agent
to
guide
them.
When
would
they
engage
in
investment
bank
because
you
know
investment
banks,
it's
not
cheap
you'll,
probably
charge
you
at
least
one
percent
of
the
transaction.
So
it's
a
hundred
million
dollars
to
go
charge
you
a
million
dollars.
Well,
if
it's
the
inexperienced
borrower
who's
not
used
to
this.
You
know
the
investment
bank
typically
will
be
an
expert.
C
You
know
in
this
asset
class,
and
so
not
only
do
they
know
the
asset
class,
but
they
know
a
whole
bunch
of
potential
lenders.
So
they're
going
to
you,
know
kind
of
take
you
out
and
introduce
you
to
maybe
15
20
lenders
that
they
think
are
relevant
to
what
you
want
to
do
and
they
also
help
you
put
together.
You
know
your
proposal,
two,
it's
a
very
complex,
complex
transaction.
C
You
know,
even
if
you
know,
you've
done
transactions
before,
if
you're,
adding
something
really
sophisticated.
Often
you
want
to
get
these
hired
experts.
They
just
know
how
to
do
these
things
really.
Well,
I
mean
that's
their
expertise,
they
live
on
it.
I
mean
it's
like
kid
with
christian
there's,
a
reason
like
one
of
the
lawyers
we've
used
is
sherman
sterling
he's
a
great
lawyer.
He
lives
in
a
5
million
house.
Why
did
you
live
in
a
5
million
dollar
house
because
he's
exceptionally
good
at
what
he
does
and
people
want
his
advice?
C
You
know-
and
I
I
don't
begrudge
him
his
money-
he's
really
good
and
finally,
if
you're
reaching,
if
you're,
not
just
looking
for
one
lender,
if
you're
looking,
maybe
more
securitization
where
you're
you're
gonna
have
dozens
of
more
public
bond
investors
buying
your
deal
or
investing
in
your
deal,
then
you
probably
are
gonna
want
an
investment
banker,
because
they're
gonna
know
the
the
investor
base
to
reach
out
to
you
know.
If
it's
public
bond
securitization,
they
could
be
reaching
out
to
100
investors,
you
know
and
they
have
a
whole
sales
distribution
arm.
C
You
know
that's
very
valuable.
You
know
most
companies
don't
have
their
own
bond
sales
distribution,
and
so
what
are
investment?
Bankers
good
at
I
pretty
said
said
this
thing,
so
let
me
just
kind
of
highlight
it:
they
they
know
asset
finance,
capital
markets.
This
is
what
they
do.
They
know
where
the
potential
lenders
are.
C
They
know
what
reasonable
terms
are
for
transactions.
You
know
when
you
think
about.
If
I'm
like
an
auto
lender,
you're
looking
to
go,
you'll
get
a
bank
line
against
my
portfolio
of
auto
loans.
I
might
not
know
roughly
what
the
terms
are.
The
investment
bankers
go
say:
look,
you
know
you
probably
will
get
75
to
80
leverage.
You
know
kind
of
outline
the
whole
range
of
what's
reasonable
and
help
guide
you
in
the
negotiations,
and
you
know
if
you
want
to
push
one
point
in
the
negotiations.
C
They'll
probably
say
okay,
but
maybe
you
ought
to
give
up
something
else.
If
you
really
want
that
one
point
so
they're
just
experts
in
kind
of
knowing
where
the
market
does
things
and
they're
very
good
at
kind
of
backdoor
channeling
with
lenders,
you
know
to
be
kind
of
a
middle
person
in
the
negotiations.
C
It
helps
keep
things
get
from
kind
of
too
tense
when
the
lenders
like
I
want
this
and
the
borrower's
like
is
no
it's
good
to
have
that
middle
guy
kind
of
keep.
You
know
things
calm
they're
also,
as
I
said,
very
good,
at
structuring
and
negotiating
deals,
and,
finally,
I
think
it's
underappreciated,
but
they're
very
good
at
managing
a
transition
from
beginning
to
end.
You
know
it's
not
easy
to
do.
You
know,
there's
lots
of
commercial
terms,
legal
terms.
C
All
these
different
things
have
to
be
done
and
part
of
what
they
do
is
just
manage
the
whole
process,
which
is
very
valuable,
next
slide,
please,
so
how
does
it
go?
Well?
The
borrower
starts
by
preparing
and
proposing
they
put
together
this
financing
proposal
to
potential
lenders.
What
is
it
going
to
cover?
You
know
their
origination
platform?
You
know
they
just
goes
like
what
do
they
need
the
money
for
you
know
who
are
they
owned
by
who's?
Who
are
their
management?
How
do
they
originate
assets?
You
know
loans,
how
do
they
underwrite
them?
C
What's
their
credit
process?
How
do
they
serve
them?
I'm
service
them.
You
know
you
monetize
monetize,
the
payments
they're
going
to
want
to
also
prepare
how's
their
assets
performed.
Historically,
you
know
when
lenders
look
at
borrowers,
what's
your
best
predictor
of
how
their
portfolio
of
assets
will
perform,
probably
how
they've
done
over
the
last
four
or
five
years
and
then
it'll
also
have
some.
You
know
commercial
terms
and
legal
structure
proposed.
C
C
This
is
important
to
have
like
this
level
of
kind
of
expertise
in
putting
this
together,
it's
typically
very
difficult
when
a
lender
who
doesn't
really
I
mean
a
borrower,
doesn't
know
it
doesn't
know
the
market
and
don't
know
what
to
look
for,
and
they
just
show
up
and
say
we
want
money
and
if
you
as
a
lender,
you're
like
okay
but
there's
just
dozens
of
things
to
be
addressed.
C
So
if
there,
if
the
borrower
doesn't
know
much,
you
typically
would
expect
a
borrower
to
have
a
smart
legal
counsel
to
guide
them
on
legal
structure
and
then
some
kind
of
asset
finance
banker
who
can
guide
them
on
how
this
is
done.
You
know
it's
a
complex
series
of
things
to
be
done
and
if
the
borrower
really
doesn't
have
a
good
idea,
what
they're
doing
it's
very
very
time
consuming
and
difficult
to
close
a
transaction.
You
know
with
inexperienced
borrowers
without
the
right
counsel.
C
I
mean
a
number
of
lenders
will
probably
just
choose
not
to
engage
it's
just
too
difficult
next
slide.
Please
all
right:
the
initial
engagement,
the
borrower
approaches
the
lender.
You
know
with
their
proposal
the
lender
is
going
to
have
an
initial
discussion
review
with
the
borrower.
So
what
is
the
lender
going
to
do?
I
mean
I've
been
more
in
the
lending
seat
than
the
borrowing
seat,
but
so
and
since
the
lender
wants
to
say,
hey,
does
this
asset
and
proposal
meet
my
risk
appetite?
C
If
I
only
want
short
duration
assets
or
only
investment
grade
assets,
you
know,
does
it
check
those
boxes?
At
the
end
of
the
day,
when
you're
a
lender,
you're
really
looking
to
to
throw
everything
out
really
quickly,
that
doesn't
mean
your
key
hurdles.
You
don't
want
to
spend
any
more
time
than
you
have
to
on
stuff.
That's
not
going
to
make
it
so
does
it
meet
your
risk
appetite
and
then
also
you're,
going
to
look
at
what
what
the
proposal
terms
are.
C
You
know
if
it
meets
your
risk
appetite
is:
is
the
borrower
asking
for
kind
of
ballpark
terms
that
seem
reasonable
to
you?
You
know
if
you
like,
auto
loans,
but
they
want
a
95
ltv
and
you
know
85
percent
about
as
high
as
the
market
goes.
It's
probably
not
worth
spending
a
lot
of
time
on
them
and
once
you
tell
them
that
and
if
they
don't
change
your
view,
you
probably
want
to
move
on,
and
then
the
lenders
go.
Assuming
the
the
lender
says.
C
This
is
in
my
risk
appetite
and
the
borrower
is
asking
terms
that
seem
reasonable
enough.
Ballpark
that
they're
going
to
do
the
lender
will
do
some
initial
diligence
on
the
borrower
and
the
proposal.
You
know
looking
at
the
key
issues
and
cheap
key
risks
and
terms,
then
the
negotiate.
The
lender
will
negotiate
the
key
commercial
terms
in
legal
structure.
This
is
going
to
go
into
a
term
sheet
which
again
it's
signed
by
both
parties,
but
it's
more
just
an
indication
of
serious
interest.
It's
it's
not
really
legally
binding.
But
again
it's
a
reputational
thing.
C
C
Let's
go
document
the
key
commercial
and
legal
terms,
it's
probably
typically
three
to
20
pages,
so
there
can
be
a
fair
amount
of
depth
in
it.
If
both
parties,
you
know,
agree
to
it,
and
you
know
you're,
typically
not
going
to
produce
one
unless
you
think
you're
going
to
get
there,
then
it's
accepted
in
essence,
most
parties
sign
it.
The
lender
then
begins
to
do
confirmatory
diligence,
which
is
basically
just
trying
to
confirm
all
the
points.
You
know
that
they
think
is
true.
C
You
know
the
borrowers
presented
a
lot
of
things
and
said:
hey,
you
know.
Our
annual
loss
rates
are
four
percent
and
maybe
you've
seen
some
high-level
data,
but
typically
say
the
lender.
You
know,
might
actually
go
in
and
look
at
the
underlying
data
or
actually
might
probably
will
you
know,
maybe
even
get
it
audited.
So
if
the
borrower
says
it's
a
four
percent
loss
rate
and
the
audit
shows
it's
a
12
loss
rate,
you
could
lose
a
deal
like
that
right,
but
both
sides
are
usually
professional
and
try
to
be.
C
You
know,
open
and
up
front,
because
that's
a
bad
outcome
for
everyone.
Then
the
lenders
council
typically
starts
drafting
legal
documents.
This
is
expensive
right,
so
you
don't
want
to
start
this
step
until
you
think
you're
close
to
getting
there.
Then
the
parties
are
going
to
negotiate
the
remaining
items
in
the
legal
documents.
You
know
with
counsel
on
both
sides
and
even
though
the
term
sheet
might
be
20
pages
by
the
time
you're
done
with
these
transactions.
C
I
would
christian,
there's
probably
at
least
gonna,
be
four
or
five
documents
and
hundreds
and
hundreds
of
pages,
so
there's
lots
of
other
points
and
some
of
them
material
that
still
have
to
be
discussed.
Is
that
fair,
correct,
yeah?
And
so
there's
a
lot
there,
and
usually
it's
going
to
be
aimed
to
be
closing
this
within
90
days.
You
know
it's
just
you
you
want
to
drive
to
a
close.
You
want
a
sense
of
urgency.
C
You
know
sometimes
people
will
have
to
extend
it,
but
the
goal
is
you
know
to
really
get
this
thing
done
and
then
typically,
a
borrower
in
the
real
world
will
agree
to
an
exclusive
negotiation
period
with
the
lender,
because
if
you're
a
lender-
and
you
say,
look
if
everything
you
told
me
is
true
I'll
do
this
deal
at
these
proposed
terms.
You
don't
want
the
borrower,
then
doing
that
with
three
other
lenders
and
then
they
finally
get
to
the
last
minute.
You
know
and
they
say.
Oh
sorry,
we
have
a
better
deal.
C
So
it's
typically
a
lender's
gonna
want
that
kind
of
exclusive
period
for
say
three
months
and
again
it's
really
a
question
of
operating
in
good
faith.
You
know
and
there's
some
games
going
on
around
here,
but
I
I
typically
find
that
it's
just
better
to
work
party
with
parties
that
are
transparent
and
really
kind
of
follow
this
rough
process.
So
you
know
they're
reliable.
You
know
and
kind
of
a
game.
Theory
sense.
It's
not
just
one
transaction.
If
it's
just
one
transaction,
maybe
someone's
going
to
try
to
screw
you
as
much
as
they
can.
C
But
if
this
is,
if
you're,
probably
working
with
them
over
the
years,
you
know
you
understand
that
both
sides
need
to
have
something
to
make
sense,
and
you
really
should
treat
each
other
well,
because
you
want
to
preserve
a
valuable
long-term
relationship
next,
one,
please
all
right,
post
term
sheet
to
closing.
So
we've
already
started
talking
about
this.
Now,
how
do
you
get
to
closing
a
transaction
from
the
term
sheet?
You
know
the
lender.
C
Does
the
confirmatory
diligence
the
parties
complete
the
remaining
negotiating
items,
and
this
can
be
a
fair
amount
in
the
legal
documents?
The
lender's
counts.
Typically,
will
be
the
one
drafting
it.
You
know
the
lender
in
the
real
world.
This
is
centralized
likes
to
be
in
control
of
drafting
the
documents.
Why?
Because,
then
they
they
get
to
be
written
just
the
way
they
want
them.
C
That
really,
you
know,
addresses
the
risk
in
the
tightest
manner
they
you
know,
they're
comfortable
with
you
know
you
can
have
the
borrower
doing
the
documents,
but
it
just
it
makes
it
harder
if
you're
the
lander,
because
the
borrower
potentially
will
write
dozens
of
points
to
his
advantage,
and
you
know
you
might
have
to
go
back
to
all
many
many
many
points
and
say
no,
no,
no,
no,
no,
and
that
can
be
a
mess,
and
this
again,
needless
to
say,
presents
issues
and
decentralized
finance.
Whether
this
could
be
negotiation
or
not.
C
You
know
from
my
own
perspective
and
experience
a
borrower
writing
their
own
documents
without
really
an
active
kind
of
oversight
from
the
lender
is
just
a
it's
a
train
wreck
waiting
to
happen.
You
know,
there's
a
reason
why
it's
not
done
in
the
traditional
world.
I
personally
think
it's
an
exceptionally
good
way
to
lose
money
and
then
transactions
once
they
get
to
term
sheet.
I'd
say
more
often
than
not
close,
but
they
still
might
not.
Why
and
as
I've
already
hinted,
the
lender's
diligence
might
discover
some
important
undisclosed
risk.
C
You
know
say
the
one
of
the
owners
of
the
company
you
know
has,
like
you
know
some
criminal
conditions
on
fraud.
I've
seen
this
there's
lots
of
little
ways.
Things
can
go
sideways
or
the
borrower
and
the
lender
cannot
agree
on
some
open
points.
You
know
they
weren't
specified
in
the
term
sheet.
There
are
still
other
points
to
matter
and
you
try
to
get
those
up
front
at
the
beginning
of
the
term
sheet,
but
you
don't
always
cover
everything.
You
know
it's
just
it's
the
nature
of
the
process.
C
Next
slide.
Please.
C
I
just
threw
down
like
off
the
top
of
my
head,
some
of
the
key
terms
and
transactions,
and
this
is
by
no
means
everything.
This
is
probably
maybe
five
percent.
I
don't
know
these
are
key
ones,
but
there's
so
many
more
so
so
I
really
want
people
just
to
think
when
you
do
a
structured
finance
transaction.
C
There's
many
many
important
terms.
You
know
with
that
or
material.
If
you
will,
let
me
give
you
a
quick
list
of
some
of
these.
You
know
how
big
is
the
loan?
How
long
is
the
loan?
What's
the
advance
rate,
you
know?
What's
the
interest
rate,
you
know
those
are
all
kind
of
obvious.
What's
the
credit
policy,
you
know,
how
did
they
decide
on
making
their
loans
to
if
it's
auto
lender,
you
know,
how
do
they
underwrite
people
are
they
allowed
to
approve
or
change
the
credit
policy
with
without
your
approval?
C
That
would
be
a
big
problem,
because
you
know
you
signed
up
to
them
doing
this
historically
and
they
say
oh,
we
certainly
want
to
do
a
whole
lot
more
risk
too.
You
know,
so
you
don't
want
them
to
be
able
to
change
it.
Materially
without
your
approval,
what's
the
servicing
policy,
you
know
how:
how
do
they
service
delinquent
assets?
You
know,
do
they
have
to
get
your
approval
to
amend
the
servicing
policy?
C
Do
they
need
a
backup
servicer?
How
need
how
does
the
underlying
loans
need
to
perform?
Are
there
triggers?
You
know
if
things
aren't
going
well
well,
where
are
the
triggers
what
levels
and
then,
if
the
triggers
are
hit
or
other
things
are,
you
know,
go
wrong
like
you
know
what
are
the
events
of
default
to?
Let
the
lender
come
in
and
shut
down
the
situation?
C
You
know
these
are
very
important.
You
know
when
things
go
sideways,
you
know
you
need
you
as
a
lender
want
to
be
able
to
come
in
and
get
control
of
the
collateral,
and
you
know
if
needed,
shut
things
down
and
liquidate.
There's
a
whole
lot
going
into
this
and
then
also
what
are
the
priority
of
payments.
C
You
know
who
gets
paid
when
in
your
typical
monthly
waterfall,
you
know
if
so,
every
month,
all
the
cash
from
the
loans
outstanding
comes
into
an
account
you
know
and
who's
getting
paid
when
very
important
does
the
originator.
You
know
write
reps
and
warranties
as
to
you
know
like
all
of
the
underlying
asset
loans
they
make,
are
actually
done
in
accordance
with
their
credit
policy.
You
know,
for
instance,
if
they
do
some
sloppy
things
that
are
out
of
policy,
they
should
be
expected
to
require
required
to
buy
them
back
at
par.
C
You
know
I
could
go
on
and
on
and
all
these
things
I
think
my
just.
I
want
to
make
the
point
that
there's
there's
so
many
important
elements
you
know
to
deal
with
here
and
I
I
kind
of
say
this
is
a
joke.
But,
let's
say
maker,
you
know
made
a
loan
to
christian
and
I
and
christian-
and
I
aren't
special
we're
just
experienced
the
maker-
got
his
top
20
or
30
terms,
and
we
got
to
figure
out
the
rest
of
the
terms
say
it's
a
billion
dollar
loan.
C
The
loan
would
perform.
You'd,
never
see
a
penny
back,
but
we
wouldn't
have
broken
it.
We
just
have
our
own
islands
and
be
very
comfortable,
not
because
we're
that
smart,
we
just
we've
been
in
this
long
enough.
You
know
how
to
carve
things
out
so
there's
so
many
ways
to
carve
out
risk
and
reallocate
it.
You
know
so
it
just
don't.
When
you
look
at
these
things,
don't
think
the
top
15
or
20
key
terms
are
enough.
C
A
And
eric,
I
would
just
add
on
this
particular
point-
I
mean
these
go
to
the
discussion
I
had
at
the
beginning
in
terms
of
negotiation
right
there
there
are,
you
know
tens
of
dozens,
hundreds
of
these
points
and
we
in
our
review
will
need
to
determine
whether,
for
instance,
the
events
of
default
are
the
market
which
ones
are
missing,
which
ones
maybe
should
we
have
given
that
the
borrower
is
borrowed
or
x?
What
are
the
peer
periods?
Are
there
any
cure
periods?
Are
they
too
long?
A
A
C
The
other
thing
I'd
say
is
like
again
think
of
my
auto
you're,
an
auto
lender.
We
think
of
making
a
loan.
You
know,
100
million
dollars
maker
does
to
the
auto
lender
and
they
give
us
100.
You
know
120
million
of
auto
loans,
the
kind
of
the
thought
experiment.
How
I
look
at
this
is
they
give
us
120
million
of
auto
loans,
and
we
put
a
corral
or
a
fence
around
it.
C
Then
the
question
is
think
of
every
way
we
could
lose
money
with
that
collateral,
deteriorating
or
slipping
out
of
the
fence.
So
most
of
what's
going
on
here
is:
how
do
you
make
sure
the
collateral
in
that
fence
is
what
they
tell
you?
It
is,
and
how
do
you
make
sure
it's
well
maintained
and
it
doesn't
leave
the
fence,
you
know
and
all
the
cash
from
it
goes
to
you
if
needed
and
on
one
hand
that's
pretty
intellectually
easy.
On
the
other
hand,
there's
a
lot
of
moving
parts
to
make
sure
that
happens.
C
That's
really
kind
of
probably
the
essence
of
the
structured
finance
game.
You
know
how
do
you
kind
of
identify
and
control
the
collateral?
That's
backing
your
loan,
you
know
it's
so
much
more
complicated
than
in
crypto
lending.
You
know,
crypto
lending,
you
know,
there's
a
real
beauty
of
being
able
to
take
wrapped
rap
btc.
You
know
into
our
vault,
you
know
liquidate
if
needed.
You
know
we
just
you,
don't
have
that
in
the
real
world,
so
yeah
next
slide.
Please!
C
Here's
just!
I
want
to
give
a
rough
sense
and
here's
some
off-market
transaction
examples
with
some
of
the
points
I've
made.
You
know
and
then
just
think
about
how
should
maker
be
dealing
with
these
potential
situations,
because
all
of
these
things
under
borrower
proposal
we
could
get
maker
could
get
asked
you
know,
and
how
does
it
want
to
be
able
to
decision
or
negotiate
these?
You
know
what
if
they
propose
a
billion
dollar
loan,
you
know
and
typically
the
market
might
give
them
100
million
because
they
never,
you
know,
done
more
than
50
million.
C
You
know
their
books,
you
know
maybe
60
million
and
they
could
grow
to
100
million
in
18
months.
You
know,
no
sane
lender
would
give
them
a
billion,
but
they
can
ask.
You
know
what
about
advance
rate,
as
I've
talked
about
early
on.
Maybe
they
asked
for
100
advance
rate
where
the
market's
more
80,
you
know
and
there's
good
reasons,
the
market's
80..
You
know
they
need
to
have
a
first
loss
position.
You
know
we're
not
their
equity,
typically
as
a
lender.
How
does
maker
want
to
address
that?
C
What
if
they
have
a
very
loose
credit
policy,
you
know
and
you're
not
really
comfortable
with
what
they're
doing
or
the
market
would
want
it
to
be.
You
know
more
controlled,
you
know
maybe
like
only
fico's
above
650,
you
know
not
below
650..
C
What
about
approving
changes
to
the
credit
policy
where
the
market
would
say?
Yes,
the
lender
has
to
approve
the
borrower
changing
their
credit
policy,
but
they
don't
want
to
approve.
It
won't
want
us
to
have
approval.
We
got
deals.
This
has
been
asked
what,
if
the
asset
performance
triggers,
are
pretty
loose
so
think
about
this.
You
got
all
your
loans
in
the
fence,
but
they
start
going
really
bad
before
the
lender
can
do
anything.
You
know.
Tighter
triggers
means
you
step
in
sooner
yeah.
We
certainly
get
proposed
weak
performance
triggers.
C
I
could
go
on
and
on
about
all
these,
but
there's
just
many
things.
They
can
propose
that
are
think
not
only
off
market
but
underneath
off
market.
What
does
it
mean
too?
It
typically
means
there's
a
higher
level
of
risk
there
you
know,
and
if
the
market
wouldn't
do
it
or
if
there's
a
higher
level
of
risk,
it'd
be
priced
differently.
C
C
A
Yeah,
so
this
is
really
just
a
slide
to,
I
think
summarize,
in
a
way
how
traffic
and
defy
on
board
an
asset
and
we've
covered
a
little
bit
of
it,
but
I
want
to
make
maybe
make
it
a
more
pointed
comparison.
You
know,
trap
by
institutions
have
a
structure,
very
well-defined
collateral,
onboarding
process.
We
have
a
mid-6
which
is
is
developing
into
a
structured
collateral,
onboarding
process,
but
yeah
frankly
we
haven't.
A
We
sort
of
do
right.
I
mean
there's
this
theory
for
cleaning.
There's
a
you
know,
theory
for
clean
money,
but
even
that
is
fairly
broad.
What
is
clean
money?
You
know
what
is
the
risk
tolerance
that
we're
prepared
to
accept
in
clean
money?
You
know,
would
clean
money,
for
instance,
and
then
I
spent
my
career
in
energy.
So
does
clean
money,
you
know,
involve
liquefied
natural
gas
because
it
will
reduce
coal
consumption
in
europe.
Well,
gases
and
methane.
A
You
know
is
clean.
Money
would
clearly
include
green
hydrogen,
but
you
know:
there's
not
been
a
green
hydrogen
project
implemented
on
a
project
finance
spaces
to
date.
So
there's
a
whole
bunch
of
technology
and
commercial
risk
is
that
a
risk
that
maker
would
be
prepared
to
accept
most
traffic
institutions
will
have
a
benchmark
in
which
they
can
review
transactions.
A
They
would
have
a
separate
business
development
team
that
initiates
the
engagements.
They
would
have
a
deal
team
that
performs
the
the
structuring
and
the
negotiation
of
the
transaction
and
then
ultimately,
they'll
have
an
investment
committee
that
has
kind
of
the
ultimate
decision
power
and
that
investment
committee
is
comprised
typically
of
senior
experienced
professionals
within
the
institution.
A
So
how
are
we
you
know?
How
do
we
look
at
it?
So
you
know
we're
continuing
to
define
our
onboarding
process.
It's
not
structured,
yet
we're
working
on
it.
It's
do.
We
have
a
focus.
Do
we
have
a
focus
on
preferred
assets?
You
know
there's
been
discussion
regarding
investment
grade
short
duration.
A
We
have
the
clean
money
thesis
there's
a
question
as
dsg.
What
is
the
esg?
It's
the
brainwashing
and
like
we
seem
to
be
investing
or
having
applicants
that
are
proposing
assets
and
highly
committed
highly
competitive
markets
like
the
us,
so
we're
competing
against
commercial
banks,
particularly
in
such
areas
of
solar
financing
and
another
green
financing.
A
You
know
we
want
to
use
market
type
of
structures
and
pricing
as
a
benchmark.
You
know,
I
think
what
is
clear
is
the
growth
core
unit
is,
is
undertaking
the
business
development
role
and
we
have
been
working
closely
with
the
growth
core
unit
to
really
give
them
an
idea
of
okay.
You
know
you
guys
are
the
business
development
folks,
here's
kind
of
some
of
the
things
you
need
to
be
looking
at,
because
that
has
typically
not
been
the
function
of
growth
or
unit
to
be
onboarding
real
world
assets.
A
A
I
think
there's
still
an
open
issue
as
to
the
role
of
real
world
finance
and
the
incubating
legal
transaction
services
core
unit
now
is
the
assessment
role.
Output
for
incomplete
map
commits
to
you
know
often
structuring
a
negotiation
as
needed
is
that
okay
is
the
community
on
board
that
the
real
world,
finance
and
lts
core
units
will
be
delegated
some
level
of
authority
to
structure
and
negotiate
transactions?
A
You
know,
I
think,
we're
still
learning
both
at
the
core
unit
level
and
at
the
delegate
level
and
the
community.
Frankly,
you
know
how
we
are
best
to
support
their
decision
process.
A
We
are
using
sessions
like
this
to
really
be
able
to
find
a
way
to
communicate
with
the
community
find
a
way
to
communicate
with
delegates.
Do
it
through
multiple
means
again,
some
people
adopt
information
or
absorb
information
better.
If
it's
in
writing
some
people
absorb
information
better.
If
it's
in
a
presentation,
if
it's
in
writing,
is
it
a
memo?
Is
it
a
slide?
A
You
know
we're
trying
to
find
our
way
to
really
be
able
to
support
the
delegates
and
the
community
and
the
decision
making
process.
So
it's
it's
a
continued.
It's
a
continual
process,
we're
not
perfect,
but
we
recognize
that
we
want
to
get
to
a
place
that
has
a
little
more
structure
and
give
the
community
and
delegates
confidence
that
there
is
a
structure
that
we're
following
next
slide.
A
So
then,
what
I'd
like
to
discuss
is
the
self-contained
mips
that
have
been
proposed
because,
frankly,
these
are
outside
of
the
process
that
we
have
been
actually
directly
contrary
to
the
process,
we've
been
trying
to
establish,
there's
nothing
wrong
with
a
self-contained
myth,
but
for
people
to
recognize
when
you're
seeking
to
develop
a
process
that
is
transparent.
That
is
efficient.
That
is
understood,
albeit
not
perfect,
yet
having
self-contained
met
with
a
prioritization
built
into
them
kind
of
throws
that
endeavor
a
bit
into
doubt.
A
So
several
of
the
recent
myths
have
sought
to
skip
to
step
five
of
the
caudal
onboarding
process
and
there's
a
link
specifically
there
to
what
step
5
says
and
step.
5
says
here
that
you
know:
domain
collateral
assessments
are
created
and
published
in
the
maker
forum,
while
awaiting
the
posting
of
a
governance
poll
in
the
following
monday.
A
We
are,
then,
the
various
teams
we
need
to
provide
an
in-depth
evaluation
of
the
collateral
type,
with
the
goal
of
the
assessment
to
provide
information
to
help
inform
the
maker
dog
or
in
its
community.
So
you
know
when
these
mips
come
in
to
maker.
You
know
unless
they
ident
address
the
standards
that
we've
identified
in
the
methodology
for
structured
finance
transactions
and,
frankly,
include
the
full
suite
of
drafted
transaction
documents,
and
what
I
mean
by
that
is
they
send
us
a
loan
agreement.
A
It's
very
going
to
be
very
difficult
for
us
to
say
to
the
community.
Yes,
this
transaction
looks
good,
because
what
happens
is
you
know
once
once
the
myth
is
approved?
We're
then
asked
to
provide
an
in-depth
evaluation,
but
unless
we
have
a
very
complete
set
of
documents-
and
it
next
excess
a
very
complete
package,
we
fall
back
into
the
it
kind
of
been
where
we
are
now
in
the
mid
process.
Where
you
end
up
having
to
have
a
discussion,
you
know.
Are
these
terms?
A
Are
these
terms
market
standard?
If
they're
not
market
standard,
can
we
propose
something?
Well,
it's
unclear
to
us
what
our
role
is
and
what
happens
after
a
self-contained
has
been
approved,
and
you
know
to
the
extent
that
there
is
a
self-containment
really.
The
the
only
way
that
we
can
provide
a
very
meaningful
and
thoughtfully
responded
to
assessment
is,
if
there's
a
full
suite
of
agreements,
because
then
we
have
the
full
package
that
we
can
review.
A
It
has
a
prioritization
language
in
it
they
get
prioritization
and
kind
of
a
focus
on
their
mip.
If
it's
been
approved,
and
then
we
can't
do
anything
until
they
actually
provide
us
draft
agreements.
Well,
it's
going
to
take
them
time
to
prepare
the
draft
agreements,
so
we
basically
sit
on
our
hands
doing
nothing
with
respect
to
all
other
assets,
while
the
borrower
controls
the
pace
of
the
document,
and
that
doesn't
seem
right
and
that's
why
we
say.
A
Actually,
if
you're
going
to
do
the
mipsticks
application,
you
need
to
have
a
full
suite
of
drafted
transaction
documents,
because
that's
really
the
only
way
we
can
review
the
entire
transaction
in
its
entirety
and
be
able
to
be
responsive
more
quickly
in
a
way.
That's
not,
then
delaying
every
other
mip
that
is
in
front
of
the
the
coordinates
eric.
I
think
that's
I
think.
That's
the
last
slide
pressure.
B
Yeah
I
haven't
seen
too
many
questions
get
dropped
in
to
the
chat
yet,
but
if
you
have
them,
please
fire
away
and
we'll
be
happy
to
answer
them.
I
wanted
to
kick
things
off
by
revisiting
the
mip
67.
That's
currently
up
for
a
vote.
How
much
of
the
challenges
that
you
guys
just
described
is
addressed
or
isn't
addressed
in
in
mip
67
in
its
current
version.
A
I
think
on
my
67
we're
trying
to
address
nearly
all
of
the
nearly
all
the
issues,
and
you
know
ever
ever
since
january.
What
we've
sought
to
do
is
really
provide
guidance
in
the
forum
proposal
in
the
forum
so
that
the
community
and
potential
borrowers
knew
the
process
that
we
thought
was
best
for
maker
that
was
structured
so
that
we
got
received
applications
that
were
as
comprehensive
as
possible.
A
So
if
you
look
at
the
methodology
for
structured
finance
transactions
which
we
published
in
january,
it's
very
very
detailed
as
to
some
of
the
criteria,
some
of
the
criteria
we're
going
to
be
looking
at
now.
A
Is
going
to
be
different,
a
project
finance
transaction
is
not
going
to
be
the
same
as
a
structured
finance
transaction.
I
get
it,
but
you
should
be
able
to
address
any
way
in
some
form
or
fashion
in
your
application.
All
of
those
issues,
because
those
are
all
the
questions
we're
going
to
be
asking
you
so
I
mean
we're
giving
potential
borrowers
a
pathway,
a
roadmap
to
how
to
get
their
their.
You
know
efficiently
reviewed
and
that's
the
key.
A
You
know
the
community
could
decide
it
just
wants
to
accept.
Whatever
that
comes
in
the
door,
that's
fine
or
if
the
community
could
decide
who
wants
a
different
set
of
standards.
Maybe
maker
wants
to
be
more
equity-like
rather
than
more
debt
like
well,
that's
a
completely
different
risk
profile
and,
as
eric
said,
you
know,
you're
not
taking
equity
risk
for
that
related
return.
A
A
C
That's
the
other
thing
is
to
potential
borrowers.
When
you
look
at
our
that
structured
finance
methodology,
we
we
published
that's
probably
six
or
eight
pages
or
maybe
even
more.
I
think
what
I
would
say
is
look.
These
are
the
the
issues
you
need
to
be
able
to
engage
with,
engage
with
us
thoughtfully
with
or
with
maker.
C
Any
lender
is
gonna
want
these,
and,
if
you're
not
pretty
fairly
well
versed
in
these
issues,
you
probably
should
get
you
know
good
legal
counsel
and
probably
like
some
kind
of
financial
like
advisor
investment
banker,
you
know
who
does
know
these
things.
I
mean,
there's
just
there's
a
whole
lot
of
stuff
there
and
getting
to
a
yes
and
finishing.
A
transaction
requires
a
level
of
fluency
in
those
issues
and
if
you
just
don't
have
that
fluency
and
if
you
don't
have
the
help,
it's
going
to
be
a
mess.
A
A
A
question
about
the
current
prioritization
list
and
which
mips
are
in
which
order.
So
there
is
so
I'm
speaking
off
of
the
top
of
my
head,
so
we're
working
on
softgen
and
trying
to
get
sapchip
across
the
finish
line.
That
is
probably
the
first
prioritization
it
changes
week
to
week
in
terms
of
what
follows
next,
you
know
we
we've
had
over
the
last
two
weeks.
A
I
think
five
self-contained
mips
and
perhaps
two
that
were
unclear
as
to
whether
they
were
self-contained
mips
and
because
of
these
self-contained
myths
were
going
up
to
a
vote
and
the
vote
was
then
binding
on
the
community.
We
felt
that
we
had
to
address
those
first.
A
So
for
the
last
two
weeks,
we
have
been
working
to
provide
comments
to
the
various
self-contained
myths
that
were
on
board
that
posted
a
couple
weeks
ago
and,
as
monkey
irish
has
said,
there
will
be
a
new
collateral
status
index
which
is
going
to
be
providing
details
on
all
the
collateral.
I
think
one
of
the
things
you'll
have
seen
is
that
you
know
I
know.
I
know
one
of
the
previous
withdrew
their
application
today.
B
It
looks
like
we
have
another
question
here
from
david
david
asks
for
the
most
part,
or
for
most
of
the
mips
that
I
have
seen.
I
believe
the
fundamental
question
we
need
to
be
asking
is
why
maker,
especially
as
most
of
the
deals
I
have
seen,
require
the
additions
of
new
intermediaries
over
and
above
the
trade
phi
intermediaries
raising
the
cost
of
managing
these
funds.
What
is
the
motivation
of
using
maker
as
a
funding
source
shouldn't?
We
ask
this
question
first,
to
even
ensure
that
the
transaction
makes
sense
for
maker.
C
It's
a
great
question:
let
me
let
me
give
a
few
thoughts.
Besides
just
a
great
question:
there's
some
folks,
you
know
that
want
to
do
business
with
us.
They
see
it
as
strategic.
You
know
to
start
building,
perhaps
like
they're
in
the
real
world
and
there's
a
lot
of
real
world
firms.
Circling
around
defy
and
they'd
like
to
establish
a
presence
and
we've
been
approached
by
a
few.
C
You
know:
billion
dollar
credit
hedge
funds
that
are
interested
in
working
with
us,
and
I
think
they
see
that
as
kind
of
adding
to
what
they're
doing-
and-
let's
be
honest,
it
probably
makes
them
look
more
sexy
when
they
raise
money
from
their
limited
partners
to
their
investment
fund.
I
mean
that's
great,
you
know,
there's
just
there's
a
lot
of
interest
coming,
but
I
think
and
also
say
we're.
Hopefully
almost
here
on
deal
and
sock
gen,
where
they
see
it
is
kind
of
showing
a
proof
of
concept.
C
So
I
think
it's
fair
to
say
when
we're
looking
for
people
who
want
to
work
with
us,
we
do
want
to
understand
why,
because
it's
not
as
easy
to
do
a
deal
with
us.
Is
it
or,
if
you're,
a
big,
sophisticated
borrower,
it's
easier
to
go
to
jpmorgan
bank
and
do
a
deal
you
know?
Why
would
you
come
to
us
at
least
initially,
as
we
we
start
building
the
pipes
to
get
it
done?
It's
harder,
there's
more
brain
damage.
C
A
And
I
would
say
like
for
somebody
like
hvd
bank,
I
think
they
have
viewed
the
opportunity
as
as
as
what
they
have
been
doing
in
the
us
say.
You
know,
through
the
you
know,
through
the
various
coveted
relief
programs
and
in
terms
of
you
know,
being
able
to
access
quote
the
federal
reserve,
they
kind
of
see
how
they
have
been
interacting
with
the
us
government
in
a
way
similar
to
the
same
type
of
funding
for
maker
and
to
them
it's.
A
I
think,
a
similar
concept
which
is
they're
able
to-
and
this
is
where
maker
can
really
help
right,
because
it
can
work
with
a
bank
like
hpv
or
others
to
actually
open
up
more
access
to
markets,
because
we're
going
to
be
able
to
provide
hpv
the
ability
to
make
more
loans
because
they
would,
for
instance,
be
you
know,
selling
us
participation
which
would
reduce
their
family
sheet
exposure.
So
for
them
it's
again
it's
a
very
strategic.
C
I
guess
the
other
thing
I'd
say:
is
it's
not
our
call,
but
I
think
we
would
recommend
for
some
of
these
earlier
deals
to
get
going
that
maybe
make
her.
You
know,
give
people
a
little
better
than
typical
market
terms
that
they
want
to
do
business
with,
because
we
want
to
get
these
first
deals
done
and
show
that
we
have
a
good
footprint
in
the
real
world.
We
can
do
lots
more
deals,
you
know,
and
sometimes
to
get
the
first
credible
customers
in
the
door.
C
A
And
I
think
the
question
on
the
intermediaries-
I
don't
know
necessarily
that
we
have
more
intermediaries
than
a
traditional
deal,
because
if
you
look
at
a
traditional
structure,
finance
deal,
you
know
the
lender's
not
going
to
be
just
lending
money
to
the
borrower
and
saying
hey,
you
know,
send
me
a
check
whenever,
whenever
you
get
around
to
it,
I
mean
there's,
definitely
going
to
be
very
tight
and
established
controls
in
that
process,
whether
it's
through
you
know,
through
working
through
an
indentured
trust
working
through
a
delaware,
statutory
trust.
I
mean
they're
very
well
defined
processes.
B
Yeah
perfect
context
as
a
quick
follow-up
to
eli's
question
about
prioritization,
I
want
to
make
sure
that,
for
the
recording,
robert
johnson
monkey
irish
from
ces
said
that,
before
the
g
r
car
call
tomorrow,
he'll
be
publishing
the
new
collateral
status
index,
which
will
provide
details
on
the
collateral
moving
through
the
onboarding
process.
So
definitely
keep
an
eye
out
for
that
with
that,
I
believe
we're
at
the
top
of
the
hour
and
there
are
no
other
questions
in
chat.
B
So
I
want
to
thank
christian
and
eric
and
then
also
highlight
that
I
believe
you
guys
have
office
hours
coming
up
as
well
in
about
an
hour
if
I'm
not
mistaken,
so
there
are
more
opportunities
to
engage
with
the
team,
especially
on
a
more
one-on-one
basis
in
office
hours
in
about
an
hour
check
out
the
maker
dial
public
calendar.
For
that,
the
recording
of
this
call
will
be
hosted
on
the
maker,
dow
youtube
and
shared
in
the
forums
with
the
focus
on
post.
So
christian
eric.
B
To
everybody
perfect,
thank
you
appreciate
it
guys
lots
of
lots
of
good
context
today.
So
thank
you.
Everyone
for
joining
and
we'll
see
you
in
the
forums.
