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.

Nokia E51 WLAN Settings

Nokia E51 is a smart phone with almost all the features available in it. It looks really slim and comes in three colors. 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. As you may expect, this password will be asked only when you connect to Internet through this WLAN for the very first time. In Laptop/Computer, you have Network settings to identify and modify the settings if wrongly entered. But this is somewhat tricky in case of Nokia E51! In Nokia E51, You have the option of Browse WLAN right at the home page for you. If you have customized for something different, u

Igate delisting - Is it worth the bet? - Part II

I said it is worth the bet in my previous post . For delisting, the owner should atleast have 90% of the company's share. This is not the case with Igate which has only 80.1% currently. But it can continue with delisting process as it is approved by the shareholders. The floor price for the delisting process is set at Rs. 288.90/- , which is the 26 day average of high and low price. The current market price is Rs. 374/-. As I said before, there is no ceiling price and one can bid at whatever price he likes! The price will be decided after the Reverse book building process and it is decided by the price quoted by majority of the people much similar to IPO book building. The management then decided to carry on or cancel the de-listing process at will after the exit price is known. If the exit price is approved, then that price will be the price at which the management buy back all the shares. If the price you quoted is greater than exit price then yours will not be bought by the comp

What does customer experience mean?

Customer experience is the experience of the customer from the period they came to know about the existence of the product until they finish using the product. For a hotel like Saravana Bhavan, the customer experience is from the point they came to know about its existence (the day they started) until they are associated with that particular customer (probably, forever for Saravana Bhavan but it depends on each of the customer). For a typical brokerage firm, it is all about how easy it is to open the account and the experience until the customer closes the account. For BSNL or Samsung, it is from when the customer gets to know about their products (the point when they want to buy it) until the time they stopped using it. Customer service is also part of it. Its all about the customer service, once the customer has become the owner of the product. Most of the times, I have seen, the Customer Experience is great until one procure the product or service and after that, because of t
