Originate-to-distribute-Geschäftsmodell

Originate-to-distribute-Geschäftsmodell n BANK, WIWI originate-to-distribute business model (Verbindung des klassischen Bankkreditgeschäfts mit modernen Formen des Risikotransfers: Kredite werden von der Originator-Bank kreiert, ausgereicht = originated, gebündelt, tranchiert, verbrieft und im Markt weiterplatziert, teilweise einschließlich der risikoreichsten Tranche, der Equitytranche = Erstverlusttranche = first loss piece = FLP = first loss position = equity piece; a business model that combines classic bank lending business with modern forms of risk transfer: whilst the debt is generated = originated as normal – whereas traditionally it was held on the originating bank’s balance sheet – it is instead bundled and broken up into tranches by the originating bank for sale to investors; each tranche has a different credit rating with the higher risk tranches carrying the lowest ratings and highest yield, the first-loss position = FLP in true-sale or synthetic securitizations is not always held by the originator so that the risk of default = Kreditausfallrisiko no longer remains on the books of the originating bank – resulting in a possible slipping of its lending standards! – but is spread = distributed among untraceable investors who are willing to take high risk on the global capital markets for high returns; the positive capital allocation function of the model is combined with the negative consequence of intransparency about the resulting risk distribution; cf warehouse holdings, financial alchemy)
