Overview
This eCourse consists of two modules. Module 1 will cover the mechanics and structures of CMBSs, the analysis of CMBS collateral, and the rating of CMBSs. As with the RMBS market, the CMBS market in the US developed much earlier, and has traditionally been the innovator of new products. In this module, descriptions refer to the US CMBS market, unless otherwise stated.
Module 2 focuses on the functioning, importance, and performance evaluation of credit card ABS.
