Investor sentiment Awareness of inherent risks of the asset class

Risk retention Issuer of ABS in have to retain a certain portion of the first loss tranche of each investment. This exposes issuers directly to the risk of each transactions and can mitigate the risk of moral hazard and a negative selection bias of the assets in ABS.

Transparency Central banks introduced new measures to address information asymmetry with the securitization process. The new transparency requirements for ABS are now considerably above the requirements for other assets classes, e.g., Covered bonds.

Regulatory environment The regulatory framework in Europe and US currently differ in essential points. An international alignment would be more supportive for an efficient and liquid market.
