The International Investor

Securitization & Credit Risk Transfer
Prof Ian Giddy
Stern School of Business, New York University


What the Session is About

Asset-backed securities constitute a growing and complex segment of the global capital markets. The technique is becoming widely employed in developing as well as developed countries.

The workshop provides an insight into the state of the art in securitization and structured credit risk transfer, with an emphasis on consumer finance and automobile leasing. In addition to covering the technique of asset-backed securities in emerging markets, we look at synthetic asset securitization, a versatile and fast-growing technique in the ABS market. It opens new possibilities for receivables funding and the management of credit risk.

  • How is a securitization deal structured?
