The securitization accelerator was a helpful introductory course on how to evaluate purchasing a pool of loans. Between an example case and excel backups, it was easy to follow along and do this example myself. Not only that, Zach did a helpful job explaining ABS terms, formulas, and modeling.
After spending several years in another area of finance, I was able to successfully transition into structured finance largely thanks to my use of the Learn Securitization course. It equipped me with the requisite understanding of asset-backed lending, including the industry's transactional process and financial modeling, that allowed me to confidently present my credentials to prospective consulting clients. The course’s real-world simulation of a live deal and thorough explanations of the competing incentives of the various transaction parties was particularly helpful. That, as well as the line-by-line walk-through of a standard term sheet and how key points such as advance rates and collateral triggers are intertwined with the financial model and can shift based on concessions from the players, prepared me to seamlessly step into a transactional role myself. Shortly after taking the course, I was able to acquire 3 new clients and competently respond to modeling and document review requests. I recommend this course whole-heartedly for anybody seeking to enter the world of structured finance and asset-backed lending.
