In this episode of Market Pulse by Faster Forward, host Grant Johnsey, Americas Head of Market Solutions, Banking & Markets, sits down with Jody Gunderson, Managing Principal at AB CarVal, to unpack the dynamic world of asset-based finance (ABF). From consumer credit and residential lending to data centers and the energy transition, ABF is reshaping how capital flows through the economy – especially as traditional banks step back and private markets step in.

Jody shares insights from her 30+ year career, explains how ABF differs from securitization, and explores the impact of policy shifts like the “Big Beautiful Bill” on renewable energy investment. Jody and Grant explore how private markets are stepping in as banks step back, and what it means for investors, borrowers, and the future of credit.
