Capital Strategies: Who Funds the Auto Book Now? 

calendar_today February 10, 2026

The funding stack behind Canadian auto and leasing portfolios is getting more complex, with deposits, bank facilities, ABS markets and private credit all competing to finance the same assets. This session dives into how platforms are choosing and blending these options, how funders think about risk and return, and what it takes to be a “buyable” lender today. Speakers will unpack the data, structures and covenants investors expect, and how funding choices shape product design, growth and pricing.
