18. Key Changes for Securitization Markets
 Improved Transparency - Alignment of economic interests between originators and investors, we think a
mandatory minimum retention of risk in respect of securitized assets must address a number of important issues in
order to be practical and beneficial.
 Standardized Disclosure - Certain high-risk practices, such as “no doc” loans, should be prohibited outright.
Moreover, we believe the current disclosure regime and underwriting practices can be improved. Specifically, we
would increase loan-level disclosures, and encourage regulators to study ways of improving the standardized
public disclosure package.
 Rating Agency Reform - Reforms relating to credit rating agencies (CRAs) is vital to reinvigorating the securitized
debt markets
 Reps & Warranty - Originators, whether banks or brokers, need stronger incentives to originate loans that are in
conformity with what they have promised
 Effective Regulation - The financial reform bill is a good 1st step in introducing regulation in some previously
unregulated areas
 Stakeholder Alignment - Compensation structure for all stake-holders needs better alignment
 Transparency on Leverage - Stronger capital requirements and better reporting of leverage. Improve Netting
Capabilities across markets and exchanges
