Structure of Securitisation:
1. Pass Through Certificates:

Sale of asset to SPV

Investors purchase interest in the assets of

SPV

Cash flow (interest and principal) passed

through as and when occurred without any
reconfiguration

Payments made are most often on monthly

basis

Reinvestment risk carried by investor

2.

Sale of assets to SPV

SPV issues a debt security collateralized by
asset cash flows
Cash flows (interest and principal) reconfigured
to suit the requirements of the investors i.e.
based on the maturity period of the security
Reinvestment risk carried by SPV
Each trench is redeemed one at a time
Payments would be at different time intervals
than the flows from the underlying assets

SECURITISATION OF FINANCIAL

Instruments:
Depending on the structure of securitisation, the
instrument would be pass-through certificate
(PTC), a promissory note, a bond or debenture.
1. The PTC passes the cash flows from borrowers
in the same form to investors. However,
negotiability is restricted as the investor has to
return the PTC to SPV
2. Promissory note / bonds / debentures make
available different tenor maturities and yield to
different investors

SPV sells them to investors through private

placement or stock market in return for cash
Investors receive income and return of capital
from the assets over the life time of the securities
The risk on the securities owned by investors is
minimized as the securities are collateralisied by
assets
The difference between the rate of the borrowers
and the return promised to investors is the
servicing fee for originator and SPV
