Programme objectives In recent years, before the credit crisis in 2007, there was a rapid growth in both the volume and variety of securities issued and traded on the world s capital markets. Perhaps the most rapid growth in the capital markets has been in the area of asset backed debt securities. The asset securitisation market developed in the USA in the early 1980s, and there has been rapid growth in the European market during the last ten years. The trading and structuring of securitisation deals came to an abrupt halt after the credit crisis but now there are signs of a revival in this market in a number of asset classes although not all are tradable. It is possible to securitise a wide range of assets from basic mortgages through leased assets, trade receivables, credit card receivables, loans, bonds and commercial property. In fact any asset for which it is possible to forecast future cash flows with reasonable confidence can be used and even pop stars such as David Bowie have securitised the future royalty flows on their copyrighted works although not always with great success. This Advanced Securitisation Programme has been designed to provide a thorough overview of the ABS product across asset classes with specific emphasis on RMBS, CMBS, Trade Receivables and loans. The programme includes the origination, structuring, pricing and trading of these instruments together with the rating process and an overview of the cashflow modeling of the transactions. It is a complete review of the securitised market to leave you fully prepared for these financial instruments.
