Securitization of debt
1.What is Securitization
It is a technique by which a long term,non-negotiable and high valued
financial assets like hire purchase is converted into securities of small
values which can be tradable in the market just like shares.
It is a process of removing long term assets from the balance sheet of a
leading financial institution and replacing them with liquid cash through
the issue of securities against them.

Under securitization , a financial institution pools its liquid,non-negotiable
and long term assets, creates securities against them, gets them rated and sells
them to investors. It is an ongoing process in the sense that assets are
converted into securities, securities into cash, cash into assets and assets into
securities and so on.
Structural Securities Vs Conventional Securities
Securitization is basically a structural financial transaction.At this stage, one
should not confuse such structural securities with conventional securities like
bonds, debentures etc. They differ from each other in the following respects.
Source Of repayment: In the case of conventional securities, the primary
source of repayment is the earning power and cash flow of the issuing
company. But, under securitization, the issuing company is completely free
from the botheration since the burden of repayment is shifted to a pool of
assets or to a third part

Structure: Under securitization, the securities may be structured in such a way soas to achieve a desired level of risk and a desired level of rating depending upon the
type and the amount of assets pooled. Such a choice is not available in the case of
conventional securities.
Nature : In fact , these structured securities are basically derivates of the traditional
debt instruments.Of course, the credit standing of these securities is well supported
by a pool of assets or by a guarantee or by both.
Securitization Vs Factoring
The main differences are:
(1)Factoring is mainly associated with the assets(both debts and receivables) of
manufacturing and trading companies whereas securitization is mainly associatedwith the assets of financial companies.
(2)Factoring mainly deals with trade debts and trade receivables of clients.On the other
hand, securitization deals with loans and receivables arising out of loans like hire
purchase finance receivables, receivables from government departments etc.

(3)In the case of factoring, the trade debt and receivables in question are short-
term in nature whereas they are medium term or long-term in nature in
the case of securitization.
(4)The question of issuing securities against debts does not arise at all in the
case of factoring whereas it forms the very basis of securitization.
(5)The factor himself takes up the collective work whereas it can be done
either by the originator or by a separate servicing agency under
securitization.
(6)Under factoring , the entire credit risk is passed on to the factor. But under
securitization , a part of the credit risk can be absorbed by the originator
by transferring the assets at a discount.

(iii) The SPV should be a separate organization from the originator.It should
be completely insulated from the parent corporate entity so that SPV couldbe protected from the danger of bankruptcy.
(iv)The pass through certificates of any other similar instruments arising out ofsecuritization must be listed in stock exchanges so that they may be readilyacceptable to investors. It would provide instant liquidity and moreover, itsprice could also be easily ascertained.
(v)Alternatively , it is also advisable to provide two way quotations forfacilitating the buying and selling of the pass through certificates in themarket as in the case of mutual fund units.

(vii)There should be a proper accounting treatment for the various transactions
involved in asset securitization . Suitable accounting norms for therecognition of the trust created for securitized debt should be evolved. Theaccounting system should provide for the removal of the securitized assetsfrom the balance sheet of the originator. Only then, the real benefit will goto the originator
(viii)Above all, there should be proper and adequate guidelines given by theregulatory authorities dealing with the various aspects of the process ofsecuritization

purpose vehicles (SPVs) which have been forward to transfer securitizedassets separated from them

(iii)While financing SPVs, an independent party, other than the originators (banks)
group entities, should provide 25% of the liquidating facility. It means that everybank should locate a third party for financing SPVs.
(iv)The liquidity facility provided by banks should not be available for :
(a)Meeting recurring expenses of securitization
(b)Funding acquisition of additional assets by SPVs
(c)Funding the financial scheduled repayment of investors
(d)Funding breach of warranties
Causes for the unpopularity of securitization in India

Future for Securitization in India
(i) With the liberalization of financial markets, there is bound to be moredemand for capital
(ii) There has been an explosive growth of capital market and a vastincrease in the investor base in recent times
(iii) The entry of newer financial intermediaries like mutual funds, money
market , pension funds etc. has paved the way for floating debtinstruments easily in the market
(iv) Debt instruments have become popular in recent times since corporatecustomers are not willing to take recourse to the equity route as a majorsource of financing their projects
(v) There is a proposal to establish Asset Reconstruction Fund as per the
Narsimhan Committee recommendations for the purpose ofsecuritization of non-performing assets
(vi) Since the financial institutions and banks have to follow the capitaladequacy norms as recommended by the Narsimhan Committee, theyhave to necessarily go for securitization.

There is much scope for securitization in respect of loans lender:
Mortgage
Housing loans
Other term loans
Credit and Receivables
In the case of non-banking financial companies also, lease receivables andvehicle loans could easily be securitized .With nearly Rs 70,000 crore
outstanding corporate debts of financial institutions , at least Rs 50,000
crore could be securitized and thereby financial institutions could raise their
liquidity for greater profitability.
On the whole the economy would be developed at a faster rate them what it
is, if securitization becomes a popular technique of financing.
