Before defining the term securitization we need to distinguish between the securitization and the disintermediation terms. Gardener and Revell (1988) stated that they have huge zone of intersection whereas each is on a diverse phenomenon. Disintermediation is the opposite of direct funding where the facilities of an intermediary are given up and the borrowers and investors transact directly with each other. The connection between both terms appears when the direct funding is undertaken in terms of tradable securities. One notable characteristic of securitization is the excessive rise in the issuance of the entire types of securities, the traditional and the novel ones. For distinction, what falls under the term securitization rather than disintermediation, for instance, is loan debt that is traded from an institute to another and known as an asset-backed funding. It is important to note that there are numerous diverse securities markets where the technique of securitization has helped to introduce novel securities and markets, satisfying the missing kinds; or as called filling the gaps. Generally, the impact of securitization is to segregate severe credit risk into credit risk that is devoted to numerous notes to be passed to a purchaser. However, commonly, the bank is left with a sort of obligation (Gardener and Revell, 1988).
An essential part in the originate-to-distribute model (OTD model/securitisation model) is that securities are valued by rating agencies. Regardless of the sophistication of securitization activity, the main concept behind it is that if the bank goes bust the SPV will not be affected. In other words, the SPV will not bust as the bank bankrupt. This is known as Bankruptcy-remote. Hence, the asset-backed ...

Furthermore, it is essential to keep in mind that in order for this entire process to function fully the SPV has to be bankruptcy remote from the bank and vice versa. Whereas, if this appeared not to be the situation, this means that the risk has not been shifted completely and the bank is yet left with some sort of liability. Nonetheless, in the period of financial crisis, the case was that an SPV may be bankruptcy remote from the bank, and the bank may decide to secure its status by backing up the vehicle either by purchasing again the securitised assets or by prolonging its loans in the occasion of a funding turmoil. This might be a selected choice in situations where the bank decides to over-securitise in the coming future for the sake of maintaining the securitization approach.

The banking system in Panama makes use of the advanced modern technologies. In Panama City, there are approximately 100 internationally renowned banks. The presence of strict regulations regarding the banking sector by the government has seen the banking sector grow tremendously (Arboleda & Martín 152). For instance, the Panamanian government has come up with strict banking rules and guidelines, to scrutinize all the banking practices so that the banks can give good banking services to all people. To ensure this occurs, the government has ordered the submission of monthly auditing reports from all the banks to the National bank of Panama and to the Panama’s National Banking Commission. All the depositors in any bank need sureties of their securities,
Despite their protective and righteous purport, TBTF regime has become a significant public matter in question. Trials of effort to justify TBTF did not turn out so convincing partially because its definition has not yet been fixed. In other words, there is no set standard of “who” precisely is being bailed out and who is not, under “what” circumstances. Beyond the bound of possibility to avoid all insolvency losses of the bank, it is inevitable to make decisions to protect the chosen but not all depositors. This decision primarily relies ...
In order to analyze Ally, I will be evaluating its balance sheet and performance ratios over the period from June 2006 to June 2013. This will show the progression of the bank throughout the 2008-2009 financial crisis.

Factors such as profitability, credit risk, capital adequacy, liquidity risk, interest rate risk, market risk, ad off balance sheet exposures will all be evaluated.
The presence of systemic risk in the current United States financial system is undeniable. Systemic risks exist when the failure of one firm may topple others and destabilize the entire financial system. The firm is then "too big to fail," or perhaps more precisely, "too interconnected to fail.” The Federal Stability Oversight Council is charged with identifying systemic risks and gaps in regulation, making recommendations to regulators to address threats to financial stability, and promoting market discipline by eliminating the expectation that the US federal government will come to the assistance of firms in financial distress. Systemic risks can come through multiple forms, including counterparty risk on other financial ...

The Bernard Madoff case is considered the largest Ponzi scheme in the United States’ history. Madoff defrauded clients from the 1980’s through 2008 acting as an investment adviser for Bernard L. Madoff Investment Securities Inc. He created a false infrastructure at the BLMIS to fool investors into believing that it was a legitimate investment advisory business. He then used false pretenses to solicit billions of dollars of funds from them by promising to achieve high rates of return with limited risks, however, he failed to invest the funds and instead converted them to his own use. He not only took money
In Taft, California, with a perimeter of razor wire, armed prison guards, supervise hundreds of medium security level federal inmates. Welcome to one of America's newest and fastest growing trends in the area of corrections. This new phenomenon is termed, The Corporation of Modern Corrections. Faced with an increase in prison overcrowding and aging institutions, court orders demanding immediate reform coupled with a straining budget, mandatory minimum sentences, and the public's attitude toward "getting tough on crime", America's justice system is in need of an overhaul. Thus, government leaders are ready to consider different options to help reduce the strain, while still meeting is legal responsibility to provide services. The option to emerge to the forefront is Prison Privatization - " the transfer of asset's and of production of public goods and services from government to the private sector."1 in other words, private interest is being given the opportunity to help alleviate the strain of taking care of a growing population more economically and efficiently than the government.
The forced liquidation of some $3 trillion in private label structured assets has been deprived from the financial markets and the U.S. economy has obtained a vast amount of liquidity that the banking system simply cannot restore. It is not as easy to just assign blame within these case however it is noted that the credit rating agencies unethical decisions practices helped add onto the financial crisis of 2008 and took into account the company’s well-being before any other stakeholders.
In previous years the big financial institutions that are “too big to fail” have come to realize that they can “cheat” the system and make big money on it by making poor decisions and knowing that they will be bailed out without having any responsibly for their actions. And when they do it they also escape jail time for such action because of the fear that if a criminal case was filed against any one of the so called “too big to fail” financial institutions it...
During the 1920s, approximately 20 million Americans took advantage of post-war prosperity by purchasing shares of stock in various securities exchanges. When the stock market crashed in 1929, the fortunes of many investors were lost. In addition, banks lost great sums of money in the Crash because they had invested heavily in the markets. When people feared their banks might not be able to pay back the money that depositors had in their accounts, a “run” on the banking system caused many bank failures. After the crash, public confidence in the market and the economy fell sharply. In response, Congress held hearings to identify the problems and look for solutions; the answer was found in the new SEC. The Commission was established in 1934 to enforce new securities laws that were passed with the Securities Act of 1933 and the Securities Exchange Act of 1934. The two new laws stated that “Companies publicly offering securities must tell the public the truth about their businesses, the securities they are selling and the risks involved in the investing.” Secondly, “People who sell and trade securities must treat investors fairly and honestly, putting investors’ interests first.”2
This paper will serve as a discussion on the topic of investment banking. In this paper the author includes various articles and thoughts that help to understand the background and principle of investment banking. This discourse will attempt to address this issue through explaining what investment banking is, introducing major investment bankers, and how investment banking affects our globally economy. Investment Banking Defined Investopedia (2008) stated this definition about investment banking, “A specific division of banking related to the creation of capital for other companies. Investment banks underwrite new debt and equity securities for all types of corporations.
The study defines “default” as a risk to the repayment history of borrowers where the borrowers have missed at least three installments in 24 months. This shows a symbol and indication of borrower behavior that will actually default to cease all repayments. This definition does not mean that the borrower had entirely stopped paying the loan and therefore been referred to collection or legal processes; or from an accounting perspective that the loan had been classified as bad or doubtful, or actually written-off (Pearson & Greeff, 2006). While, McMillion (2004) states that default is the risk where the borrower is unable to pay the loans. Default risk increases if a borrower has a large number of liabilities and poor cash flow.
