BearingPoint complements this expertise with its Asset & Funding platform, developed for Asset-Backed Securities (ABS) and other asset-based funding instruments. The platform supports financial institutions across the full lifecycle of asset-based financing transactions, from data integration and portfolio structuring to cashflow and scenario simulations, as well as reporting, monitoring, and regulatory transparency.
Through this partnership, autobiz’s residual value data and forward-looking value forecasts are integrated into BearingPoint’s platform, enabling financial institutions to rely on market-based, regularly reviewed residual values when structuring and monitoring their automotive financing programs.
What this partnership brings to financial institutions
By combining independent automotive data expertise with asset-based funding capabilities, clients can benefit from:
The result is a more robust and sustainable asset-based funding process in a market environment characterized by volatility and increased scrutiny.
Responding to evolving market expectations
In recent years, used-car markets have experienced increased volatility, while regulatory and investor expectations around data quality and transparency have intensified. Financial institutions are therefore seeking stronger foundations for their residual value assumptions and risk management when structuring portfolios for asset-based funding initiatives.
The collaboration between BearingPoint and autobiz directly addresses these challenges by combining deep automotive market knowledge with structured finance expertise across the entire financing lifecycle.
A shared ambition: strengthening transparency in asset based automotive funding
“This partnership reflects our ambition to extend the value of our automotive market expertise into the financial structuring sphere. By working with BearingPoint, we enable financial institutions to integrate reliable, market-based residual values into their funding processes, contributing to greater transparency and long-term stability across Europe,” says Bertrand Chataing, Chief Sales and Development Director at autobiz.
“By embedding autobiz’s residual value intelligence into BearingPoint’s Asset & Funding platform, our partnership turns high quality automotive market data into actionable asset-based funding decisions. It creates value for Vehicle and Equipment as a Service models by enabling consistent pricing, lifecycle management, and funding decisions across operational and financial processes thus strengthening transparency, capital efficiency, and resilience across the full asset horizon,“ says Donald Wachs, Partner and Global Leader BearingPoint Products.
