The first guide to this new financial trend. Credit securitization (also known as asset securitization) is a financial technology for packaging, underwriting, and selling loans in the form of securities. First used in packaging mortgage loans (as in the case of GNMA and other federally insured mortgage--backed securities), credit securitization has grown rapidly and spread to other forms of credit, including auto loans, student loans, credit--card balances, and so on. This book provides lenders and other financial professionals with clear analyses of many actual credit securitization deals. Includes much information unavailable elsewhere.
