This course is designed to provide an introduction to Securitization. The course starts off by discussing a generic securitization structure and the motivations for issuers and investors. The process of bringing a new issue to market will be discussed. Credit and prepayment performance of underlying collateral, including residential and commercial mortgages, are examined. Re-REMICS will be explained. Risk and return measures will be analyzed.
The class was a “great overview of securitizations to both reinforce and enhance my current knowledge and understanding in this area,” said a recent graduate while another called it a “great session.” Both gave the course their highest rating.
