Asset-backed finance veteran Andrew Yuder, has joined ING Barings as managing director of the firm's securitization group after leaving Credit Suisse First Boston last month. Yuder will be responsible for securitization origination with a focus on middle markets and less-commoditized asset classes. He reports to John Costa, head of securitization for the Americas at ING. Yuder said his focus will be on securitizing esoteric assets and niche markets including small businesses, equipment leases, and timeshares."I left because I thought there was more opportunity to do middle-market business here than at First Boston," said Yuder.
