Securitization and liquidation of assets (such as financial receivables and real estate) have become indispensable financing tools for companies today. Structured finance involves first selling off financial receivables, real estate or other conventionally non-liquid assets to a special purpose company (SPC). The SPC, using these assets as collateral, then issues securities offering different classes of risk and reward, and these securities are purchased by a variety of investors. Structured finance helps to liquefy conventionally illiquid assets, provides diversified financing options for the borrower, enables assets to be moved off the balance sheet, and offers investors a range of investment vehicles. KIAO provides a full range of services to support structured finance requirements, from the development of overall schemes, to the establishment and management of SPCs, and the creation of cash flow simulations..
