What is Securitization ? The US Mortgage Process The Sub-prime Story Where do credit derivatives fit in ? How bad is the problem ?
Securitization defined
Securitisation is effectively a process through which loans, receivables,and other assets are pooled. The related cash flows and economic values are employed to support payments on related securities. - Frank Fabozzi
The underwriter then sells securities to a variety of investors with different portfolio needs
Seller typically works closely with a credit rating agency that will rate the credit risk of each tranche. The rating agency will typically require some form of credit enhancement
Pooling mortgages together and relying on a rating agency to assess the securities funded by the pool,- reliable prediction of expected returns without investigating each individual loan
Even lenders with modest capital can quickly assign their loans into a securitization conduit, and use the proceeds of the sale to make a new round of loans
Securitization of subprime mortgage loans has proven extremely adept at generating high volume.

So the money lent by the bank against the CDO equity goes back to the hedge fund, which buys more CDOs from the investment bank, which buys more MBS from the mortgage lender, which provides more money to subprime borrowers, who then buy more houses, pushing real-estate prices higher again. Something like this is what happened to Bear Stearns hedge funds. Its two funds were leveraged 5 times and 15 times respectively.
Despite this favorable backdrop, a further deterioration in financial market conditions cannot be overruled
the problems in residential housing are unlikely to be resolved anytime soon, and delinquency rates are likely headed higher. lack of transparency about the exposure of hedge funds and financial institutions to complex instruments such as CDOs and CLOs and asset-backed commercial paper will keep investors on edge. when markets are over-extended and correct, they rarely

CDS - Wazzthat ?
A CDS is a contract between two parties in which one buys credit protection from the other. In some respects, a CDS is similar to an insurance policy that covers credit risk. For example, party X might purchase protection from party Y covering the credit risk of ABC Corporation.
X is the protection buyer Y is the protection seller. X agrees to pay Y a periodic fee during the term of the contract unless and until a credit event occurs. A credit event could be ABCs bankruptcy or a default on its financial obligations.. If a credit event occurs, Y has to pay X the amount specified in the contract.
