Also, due to disintermediation (lessening the role of intermediaries), the costs paid by borrowers can effectively be diminished. Banks can improve their profitability by increasing loan origination and fees.<\/p>\n<p>Investors can easily access securities matching their risk, return, and maturity needs. For example, a pension fund with a long-term horizon can have access to long-term real-estate loans.<\/p>\n<p>Further, securitization allows for the creation of tradable securities with much liquidity and results in more efficient financial markets.<\/p>\n<p>Many sovereign governments have embraced securitization. For example, the Italian government has used securitization for privatizing public assets. In emerging markets, companies and banks have used securitization to lower their funding costs.<\/p>\n<blockquote>\n<h3><strong>Question<\/strong><\/h3>\n<p>The major benefit of securitization is:<\/p>\n<ol style=\"list-style-type: upper-alpha;\">\n<li data-tadv-p=\"keep\">Providing lower interest rate risk.<\/li>\n<li data-tadv-p=\"keep\">Providing transparency in the markets.<\/li>\n<li data-tadv-p=\"keep\">The creation of tradable securities with better liquidity.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n<p><strong>Solution<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>The correct answer is <strong>C<\/strong>.<\/p>\n<p>Securitization allows for the creation of tradable securities with better liquidity resulting in more efficient financial markets.<\/p>\n<p><strong>A is incorrect.<\/strong> Securitization in itself does not reduce interest rate risk, but helps investors access securities matching their risk, return, and maturity needs.<\/p>\n<p><strong>B is incorrect.<\/strong> The securitization process does not provide more transparency.
