Securitisation

Securitisation is a financial technique that pools different types of contractual debts such as residential mortgages, commercial mortgages, auto loans, or credit card debt obligations and consolidates them into one or more securities, which are then sold to investors. Essentially, it's a way of repackaging income-producing loans into security that can be traded.

Here's how it works in a basic sense:

  1. Origination: Banks or other lending institutions make loans to customers for homes, cars, etc.
  2. Pooling: Over time, the lending institution will accumulate a portfolio of many loans. They will then pool together these loans with similar characteristics (i.e., mortgage loans of a particular credit quality).
  3. Sale to a Special Purpose Vehicle (SPV): The pooled loans are then sold to a separate legal entity, often a special purpose vehicle (SPV), which pays for the loans by issuing bonds. This is done to isolate the credit risk of the originator.
  4. Issuance of Asset-Backed Securities: The SPV converts the pool of loans into securities that can be sold on the capital market. These are typically structured into different tranches, each with different risk levels and yields.
  5. Servicing: The debtors make regular payments on their loans. These payments pass through the SPV and go to the investors who bought the asset-backed securities.


Advantages of securitisation for corporations and organisations include:

  1. Risk Transfer: Securitisation allows banks to remove loans from their balance sheets, reducing the risk they bear and allowing them to make more loans.
  2. Liquidity: Securitisation transforms illiquid assets like loans into tradable securities, giving banks access to new funding sources.
  3. Capital Relief: By moving assets off the balance sheet, securitisation can help banks to meet regulatory capital requirements more efficiently.
  4. Diversification: For investors, these securities offer a chance to invest in a diversified pool of assets that they would otherwise not have access to, potentially offering a good risk/return trade-off.
  5. Rate of Return: For investors, asset-backed securities often have higher yields compared to other fixed-income investments.


However, there are also disadvantages:

  1. Complexity: The process of securitisation can be complicated and opaque, making it difficult for investors to assess the risk involved. This was a key factor in the financial crisis of 2008.
  2. Risk Displacement: While securitisation can transfer risk away from the original lender, it doesn't eliminate that risk. Instead, it moves it to the investors in the securities.
  3. Misaligned Incentives: In some cases, originators might be tempted to lower their credit standards for the loans they plan to securitise, since they know they won't be holding onto the risk. This can result in riskier securities.
  4. Systemic Risk: Due to the interconnectedness of the financial system, the failure of these securities can contribute to broader financial instability, as seen in the 2008 financial crisis.


Securitisation can be a valuable financial tool, but it requires careful oversight and regulation to mitigate potential risks.
