Benefits of Securitisation
Securitisation offers several benefits to the seller, investor, and debt markets such as –
For the seller or originator, securitisation mainly improves liquidity. It removes the assets from the originator’s balance sheet, thus liberating capital for other uses and enabling restructuring of the balance sheet.
For the investor, securitisation essentially provides an avenue for a relatively risk-free investment. It provides an opportunity to investors to acquire good quality assets and diversify their portfolios.
For the debt market, securitisation increases the number of securitised debt instruments and provides additional liquidity. Securitisation also widens the market by facilitating unbundling, better allocation, and managing project risks by attracting new players.
Benefits of securitisation in a nutshell are:
- ✓ Helps banks reduce the need for additional capital by keeping loans off their balance sheet.
- ✓ Securitisation is an alternative form to banks/financial institutions of funding risk transfer and capital market development.
- ✓ It helps improve liquidity by reducing lending concentration.
- ✓ Funds can be attained at lower costs due to their isolation from the potential bankruptcy risk of the originator.
- ✓ Provides better match of assets and liabilities and development of long-term debt market
- ✓ Helps in providing a diversified pool of uniform assets to banks and financial institutions
- ✓ Helps in converting non-liquid loans or assets into liquid assets or marketable securities.
- ✓ Securitisation helps transfer funds from a less efficient debt market to a more efficient capital market.
How Securitization Works?
The process of securitisation works in the following manner:
- ✓ The lender sells several types of loans to borrowers.
- ✓ The lender packs certain loans together and sells these to the Asset Reconstruction Company (ARC).
- ✓ The Asset Reconstruction Company, in turn, makes payment to the original lender for the loans purchased.
- ✓ These loans are then converted into a pool of securities by the Asset Reconstruction Company for issuing Pass-Through Certificates or Pay Through Certificates (PTC).
- ✓ In Pass-through certificates, the cash is collected by the original lender, then passed on to the Special Purpose Vehicle (SPV).
- ✓ For Pay through certificates, usually, the cash is collected by the Special Purpose Vehicle (SPV) from the borrower and then distributed to the certificate holders. These Pay Through Certificates-PTCs are further sold to individual investors.
- ✓ In the case of Pass-Through Certificates, the recoveries from the original borrower are obtained by the original lender, and in the case of Pay-Through Certificates by Asset Reconstruction Company.
- ✓ If the original borrower makes the collection, he is under obligation to pass on the money to Asset Reconstruction Company (ARC), which in turn passes on these amounts to the investors.
