Intense, real-world, memorable - gamified simulation training
Intense, real-world, memorable - gamified simulation training
Participants structure, price, and analyze securities backed by real-world cash flows - grappling with risk, return, and creditworthiness - in our Asset-Backed Securities Training.
Securitization Process: From asset pool selection to security issuance
Tranching and Credit Enhancement: Senior/subordinate structures, overcollateralization, excess spread, and reserve accounts
Cash Flow Modeling: Amortization, prepayment risk, and default scenarios
ABS Types: Auto loans, credit cards, residential mortgages, student loans
Yield and Pricing: IRR by tranche, credit spreads, time to maturity
Credit Ratings and Risk Transfer: Rating agency criteria and regulatory capital treatment
Investor Considerations: Risk appetite, return targets, and portfolio fit
Analyze an asset pool’s credit quality, default history, and cash flow characteristics
Structure the security into tranches with varying levels of risk and return
Apply credit enhancement techniques to improve ratings
Run scenarios for prepayment, delinquency, and macroeconomic stress
Price each tranche based on investor appetite and risk profiles
Prepare and present the structure to internal stakeholders or external investors
The training brings structured finance concepts to life, helping participants:
Understand how asset-backed securities are created, priced, and sold
Analyze risk and return trade-offs in tranche structuring
Model repayment, default, and prepayment behavior
Appreciate investor needs and regulatory constraints in securitized products
Communicate complex financial structures in clear, persuasive language
Reflect on the role of securitization in expanding credit access—and financial crises
Do participants need a background in structured finance? No. Basic knowledge of fixed income and risk-return principles is sufficient. The training introduces key ABS concepts through structured onboarding.
What asset types are used in the training? The training includes auto loans and credit card receivables by default. Optional modules include residential mortgages and participants loans.
Can participants model cash flows and stress scenarios? Yes. The platform includes built-in modeling tools where participants can adjust default rates, prepayment speeds, and interest rates to observe cash flow behavior.
Does the training include credit ratings logic? Yes. Participants can simulate how credit enhancement techniques affect notional ratings based on simplified agency frameworks.
Is it more suitable for individuals or groups? Both. Group play works well for mirroring real securitization teams, with roles such as structurer, credit analyst, and investor relations.
What is the expected duration of the training? Typically 3 - 4 hours for a complete structuring and presentation cycle. It can be extended for deeper analysis or investor negotiation phases.
How is performance evaluated? Performance is based on structural soundness, investor appeal, tranche pricing, credit enhancement adequacy, and communication quality.
Does the training include ethical or regulatory components? Yes. Optional debriefs and discussion modules explore the role of securitization in the 2008 crisis, moral hazard, and regulatory reform.
Is coding or spreadsheet use required? No coding is needed. All modeling is done within the training interface, using intuitive tools and pre-loaded datasets.
Can instructors customize the asset pool or parameters? Yes. Instructors can upload or select from different asset pools with varied delinquency patterns, interest rates, and maturity profiles.
