Pass -Through Certificates
CredPool - One-stop solution for all your securitisation needs
Benefits of Pass-Through Certificates
Pass-Through Certificates offer various benefits to both lenders and issuers:
✓ Pass-Through Certificates help the lenders in converting the illiquid assets into cash-generating liquid assets.
✓ Securitization facilitates the transfer of funds from the less efficient debt market to the more efficient capital market.
✓ Securitization can improve the debt-equity ratio of the firm.
✓ Usually, the underlying assets of Pass-Through Certificates are tangible. In case of default/failure to pay for the loan associated with the object, the lender has the right to confiscate the item in lieu of payment.
✓ As banks or other financial institutions package these loans into a securitized investment, potential investors can consider the investment, such as a Pass-Through Certificate, more stable than other forms of investments.
How do Pass-Through Certificates work?
Here’s how Pass-Through Certificates work:
✓ The originator or bank assembles a set of loans into a single securitized loan package for distribution to investors.
✓ Following the securitization process, the receivables are turned into debt instruments.
✓ When the debt instruments are ready to be distributed to investors, the originator will designate a Special Purpose Vehicle (SPV).
✓ Debt instruments, often known as Pass-Through Certificates, are issued to investors by a Special Purpose Vehicle (SPV).
✓ The originator obtains money from the borrower, either in the form of interest or in another type of compensation.
✓ The money received by the originator is passed on to the Special Purpose Vehicle (SPV).
✓ The money is subsequently distributed to the investor by the Special Purpose Vehicle in the form of fixed income payments.
Parties involved in the Pass-Through Certificate transaction:
✓ The Originator: The originator is the creator of the transaction. In simple words, the originator puts the structures necessary to complete the transaction in place. Originator sells the assets that are on its books and receives the proceeds from the sale of those assets.
✓ The Special Purpose Vehicle: The Special Purpose Vehicle is responsible for distributing the Pass-Through Certificates to the investors. As a low-capitalized entity with narrowly defined purposes and activities, the SPV is typically governed by independent trustees/directors who act in their own best interests.
✓ The Investor: The investors may be individuals or institutional investors, like Mutual Funds, Insurance Companies, Pension Funds, and other financial institutions. They purchase the certificates from the total pool of receivables and receive payment in the form of interest according to the pattern agreed upon between the parties.
Why is Pass-Through Certificate for you?
Pass-Through certificates help both originators and investors:
Originators/Banks: Originators or banks issue Pass-Through Certificates to safeguard themselves against risk by transferring their receivables to the government or other financial institutions that buy such debt securities. The originators can write off these assets from their books to issue more loans to the borrowers and ensure better liquidity in their businesses.
Investors: Investors can generate a consistent fixed income stream by investing in Pass-Through Certificates.
