Abstract

Securitisation is an important financing technique. Following the financial crisis, reform activities in relation to pitfalls of securitisation have been underway. In particular, following the financial crisis, a significant debate has raged globally about whether risk retention mechanisms before the crisis were effective. The idea is to align the incentives of originators/securitisers and investors in order to prevent the negative impact caused by the originate-to-distribute model. If the effective risk retention and due diligence goals are achieved, securitisation may continue to deliver its benefits to investors, and the full implementation of the reforms in the EU and the USA will act as a deterrent and inject confidence in the markets.
