Securitisation in brief
! Securitisation is a financing technique whereby a set of stable and
predictable future cash flows (“receivables pool”) is converted into tradable securities which are sold to investors.
! The payments of interest and principal on the securities, known as
asset-backed securities (“ABS”) depend exclusively on the cash flow of the securitised receivables pool.
! ABS investors usually have no recourse on the originating entity. ! The receivables pool is sold from the originator to an insolvency-
remote special purpose vehicle (“SPV”), who pays the discounted purchase price from the cash proceeds of the ABS issuance.

environment and local investor demand.

High cost of first transaction:

! internal overhead cost: data collection, adjustments in MIS for
reporting and servicing might be needed, coordination with accountants and regulator

investors still need to get comfortable with performance
