"This book fills a very important gap in the mindset of the bond structurer and the investor Often, the two disciplines approach their tasks ignorant of the perspectives of the other side. But successful structuring requires providing the best value to investors in order to compete, and investors who don’t fully understand structuring will not remain investors for long. Highly recommended!"

Securitization is a corporate funding technique that is widely adopted by financial and industrial companies throughout the world, used to finance both working capital and capital budgets. Importantly, it is also used as a risk management tool and a source of liquidity. Securitization has been adapted to fund corporate acquisitions, capitalize future streams of revenue, and to liquidate pools of nonperforming loans. In this book securitization experts Charles Stone and Anne Zissu provide a practical explanation of how securitization works and explain how future cash flows from various asset classes--from credit card receipts and mortgage payments to movie royalties--can be packaged into bond-like products and sold to investors. The discussion includes descriptions of all major classes of asset-backed securities and offers a practice-oriented commentary on trends in securitization and the value of asset- and mortgage-backed securities across industries and throughout the global markets..

Gathering fourteen lectures by the pioneers of securitization and by current practitioners—from Freddie Mac, Paine Webber, JP Morgan, Chrysler, McKinsey & Co., and other major players—A Primer on Securitization introduces readers to America's newest system of raising capital: what it is, how it operates, and what difference securitization makes.

The securitization process bypasses financial intermediaries that have historically collected deposits and loaned them to those seeking funds, and links borrowers directly to money and capital markets. Authoritative and practical, these lectures show how securitization was developed to fill a gap in financial markets. They discuss the nature and causes of the market imperfections that made securitization a valuable source of funds, and describe how securitization has linked local mortgage markets with international capital markets. Readers will gain a broad perspective of the different parties—the borrower, the loan originator, the servicer, the rating agency, the special purpose vehicle, the credit enhancer, the underwriter, and the investor—as well as a detailed analysis of how these parties relate to one another..

· How does one securitize a pool of mortgages, especially subprime mortgages? · What is the process from origination of the loan or mortgage to the selling of debt instruments backed by a pool of those mortgages? · What problems creep up in this process, and what are the mechanisms in place to mitigate those problems? Understanding the Securitization of Subprime Mortgage Credit seeks to answer all of these questions. It provides an overview of the market and some of the key players, and provides an extensive discussion of the important role played by the credit rating agencies. Understanding the Securitization of Subprime Mortgage Credit provides a broad description of the securitization process and pays special attention to seven key frictions that need to be resolved. Several of these frictions involve moral hazard, adverse selection and principal-agent problems. The authors provide an overview of subprime mortgage credit with a focus on the subprime borrower and the subprime loan and discuss how predatory lending and predatory borrowing fit into the picture. Next, the authors examine subprime mortgage-backed securities and discuss the key structural features of a typical securitization.

From the supplier: The Small Business Job Protection Act of 1996 provides for the creation of financial asset securitization investment trusts (FASITs). The election will allow entities holding securitizations of nonmortgage assets to obtain treatment similar to that available for real estate mortgage investment conduits. The legislation identifies the types of interests and assets that can be held by a FASIT and the valuation rules that will be applicable. Taxation occurs primarily at the ownership interest holder level and not at the entity level.
