MBS - Mortgage Backed Securities

Securitisation is a process of liquidizing the assets held with financial institutions. If there are many auto loans given by a bank and instead of raising money through deposits and giving further loans, Banks can also do the following to increase its profits.

- Bundle all the auto loans and form a security.
- Raise the money through prospective clients with the help of other financial institutions.

The risk lies with the bank and this gives more liquidity to the bank and the money generated through this process can be availed in giving further loans.

In India, Securitisation has been there for long. Please visit this site for more details.

Consider the Home loans now. Banks have done the due diligence and have approved home loans for 20 people for 1 crore. The mortgage would be the home for the bank.

Now, If I am a person A thinking having very less money but ready to lend money for a prospective buyer who buys home and wants my part of interest back. Say, I have only Rs. 20000/- and want the interest for that alone to come to me.

Banks think, my whole 20 crores is locked up in the home loans. I also want the liquidity. This way, Investment banks created a security out of the mortgages in the bank and sold in the market and people like Person A bought it. The things that are not bought will remain with bank and investment bank. This gives more returns than FD and Person A is happy in taking the risk. Bank is happy in getting more money and Investment bank is happy on making its commission on forming the product.

It has loads of features and highlight of them all is the connection through the Internet through WLAN. You can get a Internet connection from the service provider and ask for the wi-fi router. With the wi-fi router, you can connect to the Internet through various other devices like Laptop, Nokia E51 etc., You will be provided with the password for the WLAN connection and only if you enter the password correctly you will be connected to the Internet through that WLAN.

Libby - An app for audio books and eBooks from your US library

Have you ever wondered about having audio-books from your library. Libby is a nice app (the web version is https://www.overdrive.com) to see all your books I recently was looking for some ways to hear audiobooks during my commute. Usually, I use Spotify to hear some regional songs.  The Libby app works seamlessly with the Android auto app and it was amazing to listen to nice books during commute. I also downloaded few ebooks and it remembers the location and works perfectly. If you choose to read through Kindle, that option is also allowed. The ebooks can be read through overdrive in the web using a browser or through the Libby app itself.  I use the Alameda County library. Some of the most popular books have a hold period and you can be in the waiting list for the books and it will be borrowed automatically for 21 days. I would highly recommend giving it a try. Happy learning!!!
