About this course
Master securitization, ABS, and structured finance with real-world clarity. Learn how financial assets are transformed into investment products. This course provides a comprehensive and practical understanding of securitized products, one of the most important areas in modern finance.

Starting with the fundamentals of securitization, the course covers mortgage-backed securities (MBS), asset-backed securities (ABS), and the concept of tranching. You will learn how risk and return are structured across different tranches and how investors evaluate these instruments. The course also dives into the role of Special Purpose Vehicles (SPVs), asset selection, and the complete securitization process—from asset pooling to cash flow distribution. By the end of this course, learners will be able to analyze securitized structures, understand risk dynamics, and apply these concepts in real-world finance roles such as investment banking, credit analysis, and risk management.
