De la solapa interior

Since the first edition of The Securitization Markets Handbook was published in 2005, much has changed in the world of finance?mainly in response to the devastating financial crisis that began in 2007. Nobody understands how this situation has affected the securitization markets better than authors Charles Austin Stone and Anne Zissu. With over twenty years of mortgage- and asset-backed securities experience, they are well versed in various aspects of this field. And now, they've returned to share their extensive insights with you.

The Second Edition of The Securitization Markets Handbook is necessary not because the market collapsed, but because it was important enough to save and re-regulate. The fact is that a well-functioning market for securitized financial assets is necessary if capital is to flow in adequate amounts to support future growth. And financial professionals who can navigate and operate the securitization process in adherence to new regulations will gain at the expense of those who cannot.

While other books exist on securitization, this one's approach is unique, offering in-depth analysis of both the supply and demand sides of markets for mortgage- and asset-backed securities. It also contains market data, case studies, and original detailed exhibits that reveal how and why specific companies have securitized their assets, the factors that affect the values of the resulting mortgage- and asset-backed securities, and the securitization structures that were employed. And while this guide has been written to reflect current market conditions?with many updated cases and data?it also remains true to the original edition since some concepts covered do not depend on new data.

Divided into four comprehensive parts, The Securitization Markets Handbook, Second Edition includes:

• Part One, Key Structures and Cash Flow Dynamics, presents the tools and examples that will show you how to value mortgage- and asset-backed securities across various payment and interest-rate scenarios
• Part Two, Corporate Debt and the Securitization Market, examines how and why Ford Motor Company?one of the most active issuers of ABSs?uses securitization and discusses the supply and demand of asset-backed commercial paper (ABCP)
• Part Three, Securitization of Revolving Credit, highlights the structures used to securitize revolving credits, through examples including MBNA
• Part Four, Searching for Value in the Mortgage- and Asset-Backed Markets, addresses the distribution of MBSs and ABSs across various segments of the capital and money markets, examines credit risk and credit enhancement, and analyzes different risks that are specific to a pool of securitized option adjustable-rate mortgages (ARMs)

Securitization is a broad, multifaceted subject, but with this book as your guide, you'll gain clear insights into this valuable financial innovation and discover the many ways of tapping its value.
