p>It has just been announced that Robert Sinclair, the Chief Executive of the Association of Mortgage Intermediaries (AMI) and the Association of Finance Brokers (AFB) is the latest notable speaker for the upcoming ASTL annual conference.  


Rapidly becoming the key event of the year for those working in the bridging and short term loan space, the conference will provide invaluable insights into impending regulation, both from the EU and from its own regulatory bodies. It has said it will also provide insider views on fraud prevention and economic trends.

Robert Sinclair reflects the views of brokers in the mainstream mortgage market while having a depth of knowledge regarding how all parts of the lending market operates. ASTL has said that his intimate knowledge of decision making also means that he has an unparalleled knowledge of how lenders and brokers are impacted by both government and regulatory powers, and can predict what future regulation may be introduced and the impact that this is likely to have.

The conference is entitled ‘Bridging – Opportunities and Challenges’, whichtakes place in just under a month on the 16th September at Painters’ Hall in the City of London.  It is open to all lenders, intermediaries, financial advisers, bankers, solicitors and surveyors, plus anyone else who will be affected by the short term lending market.

Commenting on the speaker, Benson Hersch, chief executive of the ASTL, said: “Robert’s experience of working both in lender organisations, with brokers and in trade bodies, provides him with a breadth of experience that few can match.  Anyone who has heard him speak before will know that what he has to say is often contentious, but always insightful and thought-provoking.

“The aim of the ASTL annual conference is to provide everybody involved in the industry with a level of insight and opinion on the future of our market that they would struggle to get elsewhere.  It also aims to provide attendees with an unparalleled opportunity to learn, to ask questions and to equip their businesses with the knowledge to be successful in bridging.”

Robert Sinclair, Chief Executive of AMI and the AFB said: “As the PRA and FCA continue to implement the requirements set out by our European masters, all parts of the lending industry will be increasingly impacted by regulation.  The future for intermediated markets is set to become more complex; with firms having to demonstrate appropriate controls and individual competence.”
