investors to choose different levels of investment and risk.Lemke, Lins and Picard, Mortgage-Backed Securities,

1 Modern securitization took off in the late 1990s or early 2000s, thanks to the
innovative structures implemented across the asset classes, such as UK Mortgage
Master Trusts (concept imported from the US Credit Cards), Insurance-backed transaction
(such as the ones implemented by the insurance securitization guru Emmanuel Issanchou) or even more esoteric asset
classes (for example securitization of lottery receivables).

Securitization - Repayment structures
1 After a predetermined “revolving” period, during which only interest
payments are made, these securitizations attempt to return
principal to investors in a series of defined periodic payments, usually
within a year

Securitization - Repayment structures
1 The most common bullet structure is called the 'soft bullet', meaning that
the final bullet payment is not guaranteed on the expected maturity date; however, the majority of these
securitizations are paid on time
https://store.theartofservice.com/the-securitization-toolkit.html
Securitization - Repayment structures
1 Securitizations are often structured as a sequential pay bond, paid off in a sequential manner based on maturity. This means that
the first tranche, which may have a one-year average life, will receive all principal
payments until it is retired; then the second tranche begins to receive principal, and so
forth. Pro rata bond structures pay each tranche a proportionate share of principal
throughout the life of the security.
https://store.theartofservice.com/the-securitization-toolkit.html
Securitization - Structural risks and misincentives
1 Originators (e.g. of mortgages) have less incentive towards credit quality and greater incentive towards loan volume since they do not bear the long-term risk of the assets they
have created and may simply profit by the fees associated with
origination and securitization.
https://store.theartofservice.com/the-securitization-toolkit.html
Securitization - Master trust
1 A second risk is that the total investor interests and the seller's interest are
limited to receivables generated by the credit cards, but the seller (originator)
owns the accounts. This can cause issues with how the seller controls the terms and conditions of the accounts.
Typically to solve this, there is language written into the securitization to protect the investors and potential receivables.

Securitization - Advantages to issuer
1 'Reduces asset-liability mismatch': Depending on the structure chosen,
securitization can offer perfect matched funding by eliminating
funding exposure in terms of both bond duration|duration and pricing
basis.The Handbook of Asset-Backed Securities, Jess Lederman, 1990. Essentially, in most banks and
finance companies, the liability book or the funding is from borrowings. This often comes at a high cost.
Securitization allows such banks and finance companies to create a self-
funded asset book.

https://store.theartofservice.com/the-securitization-toolkit.html
Securitization - Advantages to issuer
1 'Admissibility': Future cashflows may not get full credit in a company's
accounts (life insurance companies, for example, may not always get full
credit for future surpluses in their regulatory balance sheet), and a securitization effectively turns an
admissible future surplus flow into an admissible immediate cash asset.
https://store.theartofservice.com/the-securitization-toolkit.html
Securitization - Disadvantages to issuer
1 'Costs': Securitizations are expensive due to management and system
costs, legal fees, underwriting fees, rating fees and ongoing
administration. An allowance for unforeseen costs is usually essential in securitizations, especially if it is an
atypical securitization.
https://store.theartofservice.com/the-securitization-toolkit.html
Securitization - Disadvantages to issuer
1 'Size limitations': Securitizations often require large scale structuring, and thus may not be cost-efficient for
small and medium transactions.
https://store.theartofservice.com/the-securitization-toolkit.html
Securitization - Disadvantages to issuer
1 'Risks': Since securitization is a structured transaction, it may include
par structures as well as credit enhancements that are subject to
risks of impairment, such as prepayment, as well as credit loss,
especially for structures where there are some retained strips.
https://store.theartofservice.com/the-securitization-toolkit.html
Securitization - Advantages to investors
1 'Opportunity to invest in a specific pool of high quality assets': Due to
the stringent requirements for corporations (for example) to attain
high ratings, there is a dearth of highly rated entities that exist.
Securitizations, however, allow for the creation of large quantities of
AAA, AA or A rated bonds, and risk averse institutional investors, or
investors that are required to invest in only highly rated assets, have
access to a larger pool of investment options.

Securitization - Advantages to investors
1 'Portfolio (finance)|Portfolio Diversification (finance)|
diversification': Depending on the securitization, hedge funds as well as other institutional investors tend to
like investing in bonds created through securitizations because they may be uncorrelated to their other
bonds and securities.

Securitization - Advantages to investors
1 'Isolation of credit risk from the parent entity': Since the assets that are securitized are isolated (at least
in theory) from the assets of the originating entity, under
securitization it may be possible for the securitization to receive a higher
credit rating than the parent, because the underlying risks are
differenthttps://store.theartofservice.com/the-securitization-toolkit.html
Securitization - Risks to investors
1 However, the credit crisis of 2007–2008 has exposed a potential flaw in
the securitization process – loan originators retain no residual risk for
the loans they make, but collect substantial fees on loan issuance and
securitization, which doesn't encourage improvement of
underwriting standards.
https://store.theartofservice.com/the-securitization-toolkit.html
Securitization - Risks to investors
1 'Moral hazard': Investors usually rely on the deal manager to price the securitizations’ underlying
assets. If the manager earns fees based on performance, there may be a temptation to mark up the prices of the portfolio assets.
Conflicts of interest can also arise with senior note holders when the manager has a claim on the deal's excess spread.Tavakoli, Janet. CDOs: Caveat Emptor GARP Risk Review (Journal of the Global Association of Risk Professionals),

Asset-backed security - Securitization
1 Securitization is the process of creating asset-backed securities by transferring assets
from the issuing company to a bankruptcy remote entity. Credit enhancement is an integral component of this process as it
creates a security that has a higher rating than the issuing company, which allows the
issuing company to monetize its assets while paying a lower rate of interest than would be
possible via a secured bank loan or debt issuance by the issuing company.

to repurchase requests or improperly originated loans lead to litigation, have paid
more attention to credit quality.
