Innovations in Securitization Yearbook 2007 (International Banking and Finance Law)

The contributions in this volume elucidate both ‘synthetic securitization’ (which involves the investors in exposure-based securities to particular risks in exchange for a fee) and conventional securitization (issuance of securities for the primary purpose of raising funds for the originator or owner of the assets being securitized). The various contributions illustrate how the structures employed in securitizations are readily capable of being applied to a wide range of income-generating assets, including such innovative asset classes as the following: • commercial mortgages • student rents • intellectual property rights • carbon emission allowances • life insurance policies • project and infrastructure loans • microfinance loans • sovereign aid grants • non-performing loans • loans to finance corporate takeovers • tax receivables and other public sector assets In addition, this volume covers the emergence of new markets for securitization in Asia, Latin America, Islamic countries, and South Africa, as well as major developments in the accounting treatment of securitizations and evolving judicial attitudes to the underlying sale and credit derivative components of securitizations.

Securitization Law and Practice in the Face of the Credit Crunch (International Banking & Finance Law Series) (International Banking and Finance Law)

Securitization once a fairly straightforward means of offering collateral for investment has mushroomed into a massively complex area of financial practice. The central role occupied by such risk-distributing products as collateral debt obligations (CDOs), credit default swaps (CDSs), collateral loan obligations (CLOs), and credit derivatives has given rise to one of the most crucial inquiries of our era: Is the financial collapse that threatens the world financial system due merely to rogue traders? Or is there something in the derivative idea itself that spells inevitable disaster? Most important, can we isolate the truly productive aspects of securitization and learn to recognise pitfalls in advance? As always in such ideational minefields, it is the legal practitioners who are expected to provide guidance to distressed investors and asset dealers. Hence this vital new book. Written from a distinctly practical point of view by Jan Job de Vries Robbé with contributions from Paul Ali and Tim Coyne all three leading authorities with extensive experience as counsel both in-house and in private practice, in addition to sterling academic credentials the book sheds clear light on every aspect of today s securitization techniques, including welcome guidance on the following:
keeping track of exposure to the CDO market; and
evaluating such emerging asset classes as commodity risk, microfinance, and project finance risk.
In the course of the analysis the book proceeds from the relevant framework and guiding legal principles, through key risks and building blocks in securitization transactions, to the various product classes and sub-classes and their differences and common denominators. Non-credit risk and niche products (such as fund and insurance securitization) are also covered. The final chapters are devoted to the applicable rules as laid down in Basel II and International Financial Reporting Standards.

Structured Finance, On from the Credit Crunch: The Road to Recovery (International Banking and Finance Law Series)

In the wake of the credit crunch, structured finance is linked to bailed-out investment banks and overpaid executives rather than the innovative financial solutions it continues to provide. The initial response from the financial markets was a move back to basics, to plain vanilla transactions. Furthermore, many structured finance instruments, such as securitization, derivatives and other structured products, are facing intense regulatory and political scrutiny. These pressures notwithstanding, the potential of structured finance will play an important part in facilitating the road to recovery. This book explains why. This book serves three purposes. First it continues the analysis of structured finance, and in this sense complements and updates the popular and highly acclaimed first edition of this series ( Securitization Law and Practice in the Face of the Credit Crunch), with plenty of focus on derivatives. Second, the key milestones of the credit crunch are discussed with a focus on their potential impact for the expected flow of litigation by aggrieved investors against the perceived deep pockets of arrangers and rating agencies around the world. The third purpose is to illustrate ways in which the untapped potential of structured finance may well facilitate the road to recovery.
