Asset Securitization Introduction
Background
Brief History
But after World War II, depository institutions simply could not keep pace
with the rising demand for housing credit. Banks, as well as other financial
intermediaries sensing a market opportunity, sought ways of increasing the
sources of mortgage funding. To attract investors, investment bankers
eventually developed an investment vehicle that isolated defined mortgage
pools, segmented the credit risk, and structured the cash flows from the
underlying loans. Although it took several years to develop efficient
mortgage securitization structures, loan originators quickly realized the
process was readily transferable to other types of loans as well.
Since the mid 1980s, better technology and more sophisticated investors
have combined to make asset securitization one of the fastest growing
activities in the capital markets. The growth rate of nearly every type of
securitized asset has been remarkable, as have been the increase in the types
of companies using securitization and the expansion of the investor base.

Market Evolution
The first significant bank credit card sale came to market in 1986 with a
private placement of $50 million of bank card outstandings. This transaction
demonstrated to investors that, if the yields were high enough, loan pools
could support asset sales with higher expected losses and administrative costs
than was true within the mortgage market. Sales of this type — with no
contractual obligation by the seller to provide recourse — allowed banks to
receive sales treatment for accounting and regulatory purposes (easing
balance sheet and capital constraints), while at the same time allowing them
to retain origination and servicing fees. After the success of this initial
transaction, investors grew to accept credit card receivables as collateral, and
banks developed structures to normalize the cash flows.
The evolution of securitization is not surprising given the benefits that it offers
to each of the major parties in the transaction.
