Conversely, <em><strong>heterogeneity<\/strong> <\/em>implies that every debt issue requires an individual analysis as different loans have different characteristics.<\/p>\r\n<p><em><strong>Granularity<\/strong> <\/em>refers to the actual number of obligations making up the overall structured finance instrument. A highly granular portfolio would have hundreds of underlying creditors, making it suitable to draw conclusions based on portfolio summary statistics instead of investigating each borrower. On the other hand, a discrete or non-granular portfolio would warrant scrutiny of each obligation.<\/p>\r\n<p>Different credit analysis approaches are applied to different collateral pools.<\/p>\r\n<ul>\r\n\t<li>The <strong><em>book of loans approach<\/em><\/strong> can be used to evaluate short-term structured finance vehicles, which have granular, homogeneous obligations.<\/li>\r\n\t<li>On the other hand, a <strong><em>portfolio-based approach<\/em><\/strong> evaluates medium-term granular and homogeneous obligations because the portfolio is dynamic.<\/li>\r\n\t<li>Finally, a <strong><em>loan-by-loan approach<\/em><\/strong> is used to analyze a discrete or non-granular heterogeneous portfolio.<\/li>\r\n<\/ul>\r\n<p>The suitable credit analysis approach will depend on the type of the obligation, term, and homogeneity\/granularity of the underlying.<\/p>\r\n<h2><strong>Origination and Servicing of Assets<\/strong><\/h2>\r\n<p>Once the transaction is initiated, investors rely on the originator\/servicer to manage and service the portfolio over the life of the transaction.<\/p>\r\n<p>Investors are exposed to operational and counterparty risk over the life of the ABS.<\/p>\r\n<p>The servicer&#8217;s track record can be used to gauge their quality.<\/p>\r\n<h2><strong>Structure of the Transaction<\/strong><\/h2>\r\n<p>The structure of the securitized debt deals with the relationship between the issuer and the originator. It refers to the type of obligor, often a special purpose entity (SPE). The SPE is bankruptcy remote from the originator. Structural enhancements, including tranching of credit risk, over-collateralization, and excess servicing spread, can be put in place.<\/p>\r\n<p>A <em><strong>covered bond<\/strong><\/em> is a senior debt obligation of a financial institution that gives recourse to the originator and a predetermined underlying collateral pool, often commercial or residential mortgages. Each specific jurisdiction specifies the eligible collateral types and the specific structures permissible in the covered bond market.<\/p>\r\n<blockquote>\r\n<h2>Question<\/h2>\r\n<p>The credit analysis approach most suitable for evaluating a discrete or non-granular heterogeneous portfolio is:<\/p>\r\n<ol type=\"A\">\r\n\t<li>A loan-by-loan approach.<\/li>\r\n\t<li>A portfolio-based approach.<\/li>\r\n\t<li>A book of loans approach.<\/li>\r\n<\/ol>\r\n<h4><strong>Solution<\/strong><\/h4>\r\n<p><strong>The correct answer is A.<\/strong><\/p>\r\n<p>Discrete and non-granular portfolios MUST be evaluated at the individual loan level.
