Senior Subordinate Structure
l This is the most common kind of structure /credit enhancement for the
following reasons :-
– Internal credit enhancement and therefore, generally speaking, the cheapest
form of credit enhancement
– However, the ability to calculate the expected loss of each tranche and size the
required credit enhancement is imperative
– The adviser and rating agency is usually responsible for this work
Prepared by
Sonnie Ayere Debit Capital Markets
Typical Senior/Sub structure example
l As noted above, the cost of funding to the issuer is close to the interest
rate of the AAA bond

Other types of Credit Enhancement

Rating a Transaction
Rating the transaction
l Credit risk
l Liquidity risk
l Servicer performance risk
l Swap counter-party risk
l Guarantor risk
l Legal risk
l Sovereign risk
l Interest rate and currency risks
l Prepayment risk
Prepared by
Sonnie Ayere Debit Capital Markets
How does the rating help
l Rating is an indication of the likelihood of credit losses on the securitised
assets exceeding the available credit protection to the transaction
structure
l Ratings are widely accepted by investors (and the agency must be
certified by the regulators)
– To the investor, it creates efficiency, provides pricing benchmarks
and carries highly condensed information
l Moodys, Standard and Poors and Fitch Ratings have global recognition

Typical Regulatory Issues
Legal and Regulatory
l Legal
l Asset Transfer
l The Special Purpose Entity or Vehicle
l Bankruptcy Remoteness
l Regulation
l Taxation
Prepared by
Sonnie Ayere Debit Capital Markets
Conditions for True Sale
l Transfer must be a true sale, or its legal equivalent. If originator is only
pledging the assets to secure a debt, then it becomes a collaterised
financing in which the originator would stay directly indebted to investor
l The assets must be owned by a special purpose entity, whose ownership
of the sold assets will in all probability survive the bankruptcy of the
originator/seller
l Actual ownership of the special purpose vehicle must be independent of
the originator
Prepared by
Sonnie Ayere Debit Capital Markets
Confirmation of a asset sale
l The treatment and form of the transaction
l The influence the seller has on the assets after the sale
l The extent and nature of benefits transferred via the sale
l The purchase price
l Notification (if necessary) to underlying borrowers when assets are sold
l Title ownership
Prepared by
Sonnie Ayere Debit Capital Markets
The Special Purpose Vehicle
l Generally set up by the originator with ownership vested in a charitable
trust
l Commonly set up in tax havens
l Mauritius
l Cayman Islands
l Jersey
l Apart from legally isolating the assets it also helps to avoid double
taxation and hence reduce the expenses (if any) of the trust
l Cost of set-up an SPV is low
Prepared by
Sonnie Ayere Debit Capital Markets
Why Bankruptcy Remote
l Only assets in the SPV are available to protect and pay investors
l No need for protection from creditors
l All obligations are limited to those available from the assets
l No recourse to the originator
l The vehicle can only receive the assets as purchased and issue
notes or certificates
l Hence, probability of Bankruptcy is remote
Prepared by
Sonnie Ayere Debit Capital Markets
Regulation
l Bank Regulators will place a strong emphasis on the the amount of
regulatory capital accorded to the transaction
l For instance, regulators in certain countries will insist that issuing bank
hold 100% Risk Weighted Capital to Equity portion of the transaction *
l This will differ from country to country and will normally be defined by
the securitisation laws of the country
l FASB 46 …? Consolidation of VIEs - Somewhat mitigated by QSPE under
FAS 140
Prepared by
Sonnie Ayere Debit Capital Markets
Current Basel II Proposals
l Strong incentive for banks to issue or invest in higher rated debt given the
penal capital weights allocable to bonds below investment grade
Prepared by
Sonnie Ayere Debit Capital Markets
SPV Taxation
l Generally speaking, the Special purpose Entities are carefully structured
to ensure that its income is offset by its expenses so that little or no tax is
incurred
l Tax incentives are however provided to special assets classes – e.g. most
countries exempt the transfer of mortgages from Stamp Duty

Deal Structuring
Initial Deal Concept
Prepared by
Sonnie Ayere Debit Capital Markets
Underlying Asset
l The way an asset pays is strongly correlated to the liabilities created
l For example, a lease is not an interest bearing asset but it can still be
securitised
l Two things come about from securitising these assets
– Fixed rate bonds (internal or external swaps can be used to create a
floating rate note)
– Leases are sold at discount to produce the expected yield
– Generally no excess spread
Prepared by
Sonnie Ayere Debit Capital Markets
Investor Preference
l Investors have a strong influence on the deal structure by having a
preference for :-
– Tenors required
– Rating required
– Spreads required
– Prepayments
– Whether bonds are fully amortising, soft bullets, etc.
Prepared by
Sonnie Ayere Debit Capital Markets
Cost
l Issuers and their advisors will also consider the cost of one structure
against another. For example :-
– Wrapping a deal by a Monoline may be less expensive than getting a Letter of
Credit
– Overcollateralisation may prove more expensive than a senior/subordinated
structure

Trading Platforms
Trading
l MBS/ABS generally trade Over The Counter – ‘OTC’ as in most fixed
income securities
l They trade similar to all other bonds however, the understanding of the
underlying asset and structure is crucial
l Option Adjusted Spread ‘OAS’ – the ability to price the optionality in the
bond due to step-ups etc is also crucial
l Trades are generally conducted by counter-parties using Bloomberg or
other terminals
