Aer the financial crisis, subprime mortgage lending came to a complete halt. Banks are still steering clear of this market, but a handful of nonbank lenders, mostly private-equity backed, see a big opportunity lending to borrowers who may have spoy credit, but are still reasonably good risks.

Much of the issue is devoted to the Structured Finance Industry Group’s annual conference in Feb- ruary; hot topics included the growing pains of the marketplace lending industry and the potential revolutionary use of blockchain applications (the technology behind bitcoin distribution) in financial services and securitization. Conference speaker and former Homeland Security chief Michael Cher- toff presented a sobering keynote, however, in warning about the threats the financial industry faces in the growing sophistication of hackers to use growing universe of “smart” devices and appliances (from televisions to refrigerators) with decidedly weak security protocols to undermine our national and financial systems’ security.
