It includes detailed discussion of the assets that can be securitized, rating agency considerations, the legal structure of securitization transactions, tax consequences for issuers and investors, the effect of an issuer’s bankruptcy, contractual restrictions, regulatory concerns, cross-border and future-flow transactions, financial guaranty insurance, insurance securitizations, and securitization issues unique to specific foreign countries.

For the experienced practitioner, it serves as an essential companion and reference as new techniques arise and new markets emerge. The latest edition of this leading treatise also features new analysis of the Volcker Rule considerations for covered bond investors and includes revised coverage of life settlement securitization.
