This is typically a company looking to either raise capital, restructure debt or otherwise adjust its finances (but also includes businesses established specifically to generate marketable debt (consumer or otherwise) for the purpose of subsequent securitization). Under traditional <a href="/wiki/Corporate_finance" title="Corporate finance">corporate finance</a> concepts, such a company would have three options to raise new capital: a <a href="/wiki/Loan" title="Loan">loan</a>, <a href="/wiki/Bond_issue" class="mw-redirect" title="Bond issue">bond issue</a>, or issuance of <a href="/wiki/Share_capital" title="Share capital">stock</a>. However, stock offerings dilute the ownership and control of the company, while loan or bond financing is often prohibitively expensive due to the <a href="/wiki/Credit_rating" title="Credit rating">credit rating</a> of the company and the associated rise in <a href="/wiki/Interest" title="Interest">interest</a> rates. </p><p>The consistently revenue-generating part of the company may have a much higher credit rating than the company as a whole. For instance, a leasing company may have provided $10m nominal value of leases, and it will receive a cash flow over the next five years from these. It cannot demand early repayment on the leases and so cannot get its money back early if required. If it could sell the rights to the cash flows from the leases to someone else, it could transform that income stream into a lump sum today (in effect, receiving today the present value of a future cash flow). Where the originator is a bank or other organization that must meet capital adequacy requirements, the structure is usually more complex because a separate company is set up to buy the assets. </p><p>A suitably large portfolio of assets is "pooled" and transferred to a "<b><a href="/wiki/Special_purpose_vehicle" class="mw-redirect" title="Special purpose vehicle">special purpose vehicle</a></b>" or "<b>SPV</b>" (the <b>issuer</b>), a tax-exempt company or trust formed for the specific purpose of funding the assets. Once the assets are transferred to the issuer, there is normally no recourse to the originator. The issuer is "<a href="/wiki/Bankruptcy" title="Bankruptcy">bankruptcy</a> remote", meaning that if the originator goes into bankruptcy, the assets of the issuer will not be distributed to the creditors of the originator. In order to achieve this, the governing documents of the issuer restrict its activities to only those necessary to complete the issuance of securities. Many issuers are typically <a href="/wiki/Orphan_structure" title="Orphan structure">"orphaned"</a>. In the case of certain assets, such as credit card debt, where the portfolio is made up of a constantly changing pool of receivables, a trust in favor of the SPV may be declared in place of traditional transfer by assignment (see <a href="#Master_trust">the outline of the master trust structure</a> below). </p><p><a href="/wiki/Accounting" title="Accounting">Accounting</a> standards govern when such a transfer is a true sale, a financing, a partial sale, or a part-sale and part-financing.<sup id="cite_ref-fasb_5-0" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-fasb-5"><span class="cite-bracket">[</span>5<span class="cite-bracket">]</span></a></sup> In a true sale, the originator is allowed to remove the transferred assets from its balance sheet: in a financing, the assets are considered to remain the property of the originator.<sup id="cite_ref-sofabs_6-0" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-sofabs-6"><span class="cite-bracket">[</span>6<span class="cite-bracket">]</span></a></sup> Under US accounting standards, the originator achieves a sale by being at <a href="/wiki/Arm%27s_length" class="mw-redirect" title="Arm's length">arm's length</a> from the issuer, in which case the issuer is classified as a "<b>qualifying special purpose entity</b>" or "<b>qSPE</b>". </p><p>Because of these structural issues, the originator typically needs the help of an <a href="/wiki/Investment_bank" class="mw-redirect" title="Investment bank">investment bank</a> (the <b>arranger</b>) in setting up the structure of the transaction. </p> <div class="mw-heading mw-heading3"><h3 id="Issuance">Issuance</h3><span class="mw-editsection"><span class="mw-editsection-bracket">[</span><a href="/w/index.php?title=Securitization&action=edit&section=3" title="Edit section: Issuance"><span>edit</span></a><span class="mw-editsection-bracket">]</span></span></div> <p>To be able to buy the assets from the originator, the issuer SPV issues <a href="/wiki/Tradable_securities" class="mw-redirect" title="Tradable securities">tradable securities</a> to fund the purchase.

The depositor has taken on added significance under <a href="/wiki/Regulation_AB" title="Regulation AB">Regulation AB</a>. The depositor typically owns 100% of the beneficial interest in the issuing entity and is usually the parent or a wholly owned subsidiary of the parent which initiates the transaction.

Fixed rate ABS set the "<a href="/wiki/Coupon_(finance)" title="Coupon (finance)">coupon</a>" (rate) at the time of issuance, in a fashion similar to corporate bonds and T-Bills. Floating rate securities may be backed by both amortizing and non-amortizing assets in the floating market. In contrast to fixed rate securities, the rates on "floaters" will periodically adjust up or down according to a designated index such as a U.S. Treasury rate, or, more typically, the <a href="/wiki/London_Interbank_Offered_Rate" class="mw-redirect" title="London Interbank Offered Rate">London Interbank Offered Rate</a> (LIBOR).

This increases the likelihood that the investors will receive the cash flows to which they are entitled, and thus enables the securities to have a higher credit rating than the originator. Some securitizations use external credit enhancement provided by third parties, such as <a href="/wiki/Surety_bond" class="mw-redirect" title="Surety bond">surety bonds</a> and parental <a href="/wiki/Guaranty" class="mw-redirect" title="Guaranty">guarantees</a> (although this may introduce a conflict of interest). </p><p>The issued securities are often split into <b><a href="/wiki/Tranche" title="Tranche">tranches</a></b>, or categorized into varying degrees of <a href="/wiki/Subordination_(finance)" title="Subordination (finance)">subordination</a>. Each tranche has a different level of credit protection or risk exposure: there is generally a senior ("A") class of securities and one or more junior subordinated ("B", "C", etc.) classes that function as protective layers for the "A" class. The senior classes have first claim on the cash that the SPV receives, and the more junior classes only start receiving repayment after the more senior classes have been repaid. Because of the cascading effect between classes, this arrangement is often referred to as a <b>cash flow waterfall</b>.<sup id="cite_ref-8" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-8"><span class="cite-bracket">[</span>8<span class="cite-bracket">]</span></a></sup> If the underlying asset pool becomes insufficient to make payments on the securities (e.g. when loans default within a portfolio of loan claims), the loss is absorbed first by the subordinated tranches, and the upper-level tranches remain unaffected until the losses exceed the entire amount of the subordinated tranches. The senior securities might be AAA or AA rated, signifying a lower risk, while the lower-credit quality subordinated classes receive a lower credit rating, signifying a higher risk.<sup id="cite_ref-Dwight_7-1" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-Dwight-7"><span class="cite-bracket">[</span>7<span class="cite-bracket">]</span></a></sup> </p><p>The most junior class (often called the <b>equity class</b>) is the most exposed to payment risk. In some cases, this is a special type of instrument which is retained by the originator as a potential profit flow. In some cases the equity class receives no coupon (either fixed or floating), but only the residual cash flow (if any) after all the other classes have been paid. </p><p>There may also be a special class which absorbs early repayments in the underlying assets. This is often the case where the underlying assets are mortgages which, in essence, are repaid whenever the properties are sold. Since any early repayments are passed on to this class, it means the other investors have a more predictable cash flow. </p><p>If the underlying assets are mortgages or loans, there are usually two separate "waterfalls" because the principal and interest receipts can be easily allocated and matched. But if the assets are income-based transactions such as rental deals one cannot categorise the revenue so easily between income and principal repayment. In this case all the revenue is used to pay the cash flows due on the bonds as those cash flows become due. </p><p>Credit enhancements affect credit risk by providing more or less protection for promised cash flows for a security. Additional protection can help a security achieve a higher rating, lower protection can help create new securities with differently desired risks, and these differential protections can make the securities more attractive. </p><p>In addition to subordination, credit may be enhanced through:<sup id="cite_ref-sofabs_6-1" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-sofabs-6"><span class="cite-bracket">[</span>6<span class="cite-bracket">]</span></a></sup> </p> <ul><li>A <b>reserve</b> or <b>spread account</b>, in which funds remaining after expenses such as principal and interest payments, charge-offs and other fees have been paid-off are accumulated, and can be used when SPE expenses are greater than its income.</li> <li>Third-party <a href="/wiki/Insurance" title="Insurance">insurance</a>, or guarantees of principal and interest payments on the securities.</li> <li><b>Over-collateralisation</b>, usually by using finance income to pay off principal on some securities before principal on the corresponding share of collateral is collected.</li> <li><b>Cash funding</b> or a <b>cash collateral account</b>, generally consisting of short-term, highly rated investments purchased either from the seller's own funds, or from funds borrowed from third parties that can be used to make up shortfalls in promised cash flows.</li> <li>A third-party <b><a href="/wiki/Letter_of_credit" title="Letter of credit">letter of credit</a></b> or corporate guarantee.</li> <li>A back-up servicer for the loans.</li> <li>Discounted receivables for the pool.</li></ul> <div class="mw-heading mw-heading3"><h3 id="Servicing">Servicing</h3><span class="mw-editsection"><span class="mw-editsection-bracket">[</span><a href="/w/index.php?title=Securitization&action=edit&section=5" title="Edit section: Servicing"><span>edit</span></a><span class="mw-editsection-bracket">]</span></span></div> <p>A <b>servicer</b> collects payments and monitors the assets that are the crux of the structured financial deal.

Any income remaining after payments and expenses is usually accumulated to some extent in a reserve or spread account, and any further excess is returned to the seller.

Prepayment uncertainty is an important concern with fully amortizing ABS.

In a typical master trust transaction, an originator of credit card receivables transfers a pool of those receivables to the trust and then the trust issues securities backed by these receivables.

After this transaction, typically the originator would continue to service the receivables, in this case the credit cards. </p><p>There are various risks involved with master trusts specifically. One risk is that timing of cash flows promised to investors might be different from timing of payments on the receivables. For example, credit card-backed securities can have maturities of up to 10 years, but credit card-backed receivables usually pay off much more quickly. To solve this issue these securities typically have a revolving period, an accumulation period, and an amortization period. All three of these periods are based on historical experience of the receivables. During the revolving period, principal payments received on the credit card balances are used to purchase additional receivables. During the accumulation period, these payments are accumulated in a separate account. During the amortization period, new payments are passed through to the investors. </p><p>A second risk is that the total investor interests and the seller's interest are limited to receivables generated by the credit cards, but the seller (originator) owns the accounts. This can cause issues with how the seller controls the terms and conditions of the accounts. Typically to solve this, there is language written into the securitization to protect the investors and potential receivables. </p><p>A third risk is that payments on the receivables can shrink the pool balance and under-collateralize total investor interest. To prevent this, often there is a required minimum seller's interest, and if there was a decrease then an early amortization event would occur.<sup id="cite_ref-sofabs_6-3" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-sofabs-6"><span class="cite-bracket">[</span>6<span class="cite-bracket">]</span></a></sup> </p> <div class="mw-heading mw-heading3"><h3 id="Issuance_trust">Issuance trust</h3><span class="mw-editsection"><span class="mw-editsection-bracket">[</span><a href="/w/index.php?title=Securitization&action=edit&section=10" title="Edit section: Issuance trust"><span>edit</span></a><span class="mw-editsection-bracket">]</span></span></div> <p>In 2000, <a href="/wiki/Citibank" title="Citibank">Citibank</a> introduced a new structure for credit card-backed securities, called an issuance trust, which does not have limitations that master trusts sometimes do, that requires each issued series of securities to have both a senior and subordinate tranche.

Usually, any income remaining after expenses is kept in a reserve account up to a specified level and then after that, all income is returned to the seller.

This term implies that the use of derivatives has no balance sheet impact. While there are differences among the various accounting standards internationally, there is a general trend towards the requirement to record derivatives at fair value on the balance sheet. There is also a generally accepted principle that, where derivatives are being used as a hedge against underlying assets or liabilities, accounting adjustments are required to ensure that the gain/loss on the hedged instrument is recognized in the income statement on a similar basis as the underlying assets and liabilities. Certain credit derivatives products, particularly Credit Default Swaps, now have more or less universally accepted market standard documentation. In the case of Credit Default Swaps, this documentation has been formulated by the <a href="/wiki/International_Swaps_and_Derivatives_Association" title="International Swaps and Derivatives Association">International Swaps and Derivatives Association</a> (ISDA) who have for a long time provided documentation on how to treat such derivatives on balance sheets. </p><p><b><a href="/wiki/Earnings" title="Earnings">Earnings</a></b>: Securitization makes it possible to record an earnings bounce without any real addition to the firm. When a securitization takes place, there often is a "true sale" that takes place between the Originator (the parent company) and the SPE. This sale has to be for the market value of the underlying assets for the "true sale" to stick and thus this sale is reflected on the parent company's balance sheet, which will boost earnings for that quarter by the amount of the sale. While not illegal in any respect, this does distort the true earnings of the parent company. </p><p><b>Admissibility</b>: Future cashflows may not get full credit in a company's accounts (life insurance companies, for example, may not always get full credit for future surpluses in their regulatory balance sheet), and a securitization effectively turns an admissible future surplus flow into an admissible immediate cash asset. </p><p><b><a href="/wiki/Liquidity" title="Liquidity">Liquidity</a></b>: Future cashflows may simply be balance sheet items which currently are not available for spending, whereas once the book has been securitized, the cash would be available for immediate spending or investment.
