Securitization/Structured Finance: Financing the Future

Program Overview

Securitization and structured finance jointly represent the fastest-growing, largest sector of the fixed-income market. “Securitization” refers to the asset side transformation of converting loan contracts into securities and “Structured Finance” refers to the development of a liability structure that minimizes the all-in funding cost to the ultimate borrower.

Securitization and Structured Finance deals with non-recourse financing pieces of the corporation balance in various forms:

Asset-Backed Securities (ABS)
Mortgage-Backed Securities (MBS)
Collateralized Debt Obligations (CDOs)
Asset-Backed Commercial Paper (ABCP)

This program will discuss the macro picture of Securitization and Structured Finance and help you develop the essential skills and concepts in this field.

This core course enables attendees to experiment with transaction structure and to immerse themselves in a new way of thinking about finance.

This intensive five-day practical workshop is offered in conjunction with The Paul Merage School of Business at University of California, Irvine and R&R Consulting, New York

This workshop is targeted towards finance professionals, public or private project managers and planners, accountants and auditors who want to gain fundamental knowledge of structured finance and to broaden their risk horizons. It also has value to private equity, venture capital and hedge fund managers seeking a fresh understanding of value and risk.
