Finally, a textbook on securitization that isn't merely a description of the product but instead tells you exactly how to close an ABS deal--invaluable assistance for the first-time bank practitioner. The templates are a great start to any deal. Highly recommended.

An ideal companion for anyone involved in originating or arranging structured finance deals.

While securitization may have slowed after the 2007-2008 financial crisis, the reality is that it still holds an important place in the world of finance. And although securitization transactions have been taking place for over thirty years, there is still a lack of information on exactly how they are successfully processed. This book will put you in a better position to understand how it all happens, and show you how to apply the techniques required.

The Mechanics of Securitization describes the process of structuring and executing an asset-backed security transaction, including the rating agency issues and legal review requirements associated with it. The book is designed to act as a checklist for ABS originators and arrangers, and includes templates that can be readily applied by commercial banks looking to undertake securitization transactions.

There is also a detailed discussion of an actual securitization transaction, which brings the text to life by illustrating the process of structuring a typical loan ABS or CLO transaction.
