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


What the Lecture is About

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

This lecture provides an in-depth insight into the state of the art in securitization and structured credit risk transfer. In addition to covering new developments in asset-backed securities and collateralized debt obligations, the lecture explains risk transfer using synthetic asset securitization, a versatile and fast-growing technique in the ABS market. It opens new possibilities for the transfer, pricing and management of credit risk.
