As an assistant vice president at a regional bank, your boss has just informed you that the bank has just made an acquisition of a smaller bank. Among the assets that will be transferred is $125 million of residential mortgage debt, which has the same geographic profile as the regional bankâ€s own $200 million residential mortgage portfolio. One of the members of the bankâ€s Board of Directors asked your boss if he thought it would be possible to securitize the mortgage debt and use the proceeds to pay down part of the debt used for the acquisition. Your boss does not have an understanding of asset securitization or its benefits for the bank but needs to give an answer to the Board member quickly. Provide the following:

• A description of 3 kinds of assets that are routinely securitized in addition to residential mortgages
• A discussion of the 2 key types of mortgage-backed bonds, including a discussion on the primary difference between them and why the most recent structure is attractive to investors
• The benefits to the regional bank of securitizing and selling the newly-acquired mortgages instead of retaining them
• At least 2 outside sources, including one for market size
