A broker is a person or organisation that facilitates the buying and selling of
securities. Brokers typically charge a commission for their services. In the context of securitisations, brokers may be involved in a number of activities, such as:
- Arranging the sale of securities to investors
- Providing advice to investors on
securitisations
- Underwriting securitisations
- Managing the ongoing servicing of securitisations
- Brokers play an important role in the securitisation market. They help to ensure that securities are sold to investors who are appropriate for the risk, and they provide investors with the information they need to make informed investment decisions.
