This dissertation investigates the various aspects of securitization, aiming to give a comprehensive understanding of the issues evolving around it. The study here focuses on the advantages and disadvantages of securitization, which according to some has been the root cause or at the core of the current global financial turmoil. Asset backed securitization originated in the US in 1968 and subsequently attracted European countries to embrace it. Ever since has seen an unprecedented growth in its usage. Realising the potential, many institutions adopted the securitization as a model, however now many institutions have now found their fingers burnt in the very process which was yielding high returns. The purpose of this report is also to analyse and reflect upon the future of Securitization and aspects of how the financial institutions, especially banking sector would evolve in the medium to long term.
