Gordon Kerr

Senior Investment Advisor

Gordon Kerr is founder and CEO of Cobden Partners, London based investment consultancy. From 1983 Gordon Kerr worked as a capital markets investment banker for Bank of America, Merrill Lynch, Nomura Securities, Abbey National (now Banco Santander), and General Re Financial Products (a subsidiary of Berkshire Hathaway). In 2003 Kerr and his Abbey colleague established their own firm ("NK") as a debt capital markets consultancy. NK clients included British merchant banks such as Close Brothers, life insurance companies and fund managers. NK also advised open ended investment funds on net asset value calculations and passive (risk neutralizing) currency risk management.

In 2011 Kerr established "Cobden Partners" as a financial consultancy brand, specialising in both banking crisis advice, and investment opportunities arising from the re-alignment of financial markets resulting from the Great Financial Crisis (GFC). Cobden Partners have completed a number of private assignments for government and private entities in Europe.

His reputation as a capital markets specialist on a global stage consists of three main pillars: • 2001 - applied credit derivative technology to convert Abbey (Santander)’s multi-billion insured bond portfolio into derivative exposure for regulatory capital purposes. The effect of this was to bring forward profits and substantially releverage the bank’s equity. This structure was then quickly copied by multiple banks throughout Europe, enhancing their stability; • 1998 – 2004 - pioneered the development of derivatives in the UK home equity release market; • 1991 – 1996 - designed and structured residential mortgage and home rental securitization eurobonds in Sweden, Finland, the UK and other European countries.

With specific reference to property assets, his former company "NK" helped structure: • 500m house price index insurance to enable the transfer of a pipeline transfer of home reversion assets from a UK insurer to a UK bank; • Insurance based ‘no-loss guarantee’ for speculative property developments undertaken by inheritance-tax driven partnerships; • Currency hedging programmes for currency share classes of open-ended property investment funds; • Tax effective home reversion scheme in conjunction with unit-linked life insurance.

Before the GFC, Kerr helped to design legislation in Sweden and other Nordic countries necessary for the establishment of residential mortgage securitisation. In the UK, his input to the government helped shape the tax rules regarding property derivatives. Since the Financial Crisis of 2008 Kerr has been asked for input on derivatives, accounting and general banking ‘instability issues’ by UK institutions such as Her Majesty’s Treasury, the Bank of England, and the main financial affairs scrutiny committee of the Parliament – the Treasury Select Committee. He has also been asked for advice by two committees in Brussels focussed on derivatives and accounting; one under the purview of the European Parliament, the other reporting to the European Commission.

Kerr has accordingly published various papers on subjects such as derivatives and loan loss accounting, and flaws in the global regulatory capital rules for banks - the “Basel Rules”. In 2012 he was invited to become a Senior Fellow by the Institute for Research in Economics and Fiscal Issues, Luxembourg (IREF). Kerr is the lead author of IREF’s monthly Newsletter, which reports developments in central banking policy and likely impact on banking/ financial markets. The Newsletter is distributed to some 500 continental European institutions, ‘think-tanks' and universities.
