Abstract
Executive Summary.The concept of securitization can be standardized by focusing on its effect on investment characteristics rather than its effect on assets. The effect on investment characteristics impacts asset value. Although recent advances in securitization technology apply to the securitization of fixedincome assets, securitization has long been the primary investment banking function. Wide variation in securitization methodology reflects wide variation in asset investment characteristics.
