Securitisation: Every Bank’s Relief

Securitisation in financial services is a vital process for most banks. As one would know, banks specialize in investing in financial assets, and whether it’s a personal loan, or a business venture, their main goal is to obtain a profitable return on their investments. However, what happens when they are unable to collect on certain investments? What happens if some loans may cannot be repaid? In such cases the banks are stuck with bad financial assets that they cannot easily discharge.

Liquidating Bad Investments

This often tends to reflect in their balance sheets, where they weigh the value of each asset. Bad assets tend to be a more negative aspect on these sheets and thus banks will need to liquidate them somehow. But as it’s possible to assume, not many other industries involve themselves in buying up bad assets. That is, not many apart from ARCs, Asset Reconstruction Companies.

Asset Reconstruction Companies and Their Purpose

When faced with a certain volume of bad assets, Banks have only one option left, securitisation. Securitisation in financial services is the process of packaging bad assets together and selling them to a company that specialises in reconstructing them. This process allows Asset Reconstruction Companies to buy bad assets at a discounted price, while also allowing the banks to clear their balance sheets, albeit at a slight loss.

A Final Financial Cycle

Asset Reconstruction Companies on the other hand, will attempt to collect on the assets. For example, if one of the bad assets was a loan that was never repaid, they can collect on the full remaining amount and keep the money as profit. This sort of function also sometimes involves property or other tangible assets that are held as collateral. In order to ensure all assets are accounted for, the government launched a securitisation registry called CERSAI, which records all the details regarding the status of any asset. Banks and ARCs are required to submit regular status updates to CERSAI in order to ensure all assets remain accounted for.
