As regulators, members of Congress and Wall Street begin to clamp down on so-called risky mortgage products within the subprime lending sector, market participants are growing increasingly concerned about the ability of borrowers currently locked into those products to refinance.

With major investment banks testing the waters, Intellectual Property (IP) securitizations have been seeing a lot of activity lately.

In India, a stream of well-intended but unfulfilled plans to get real estate investment off the ground brought about the saying: in the country, REIT stands for Real Estate Investment Tour. Craig S. Phillips, former global head of securitized products at Morgan Stanley, said he has seen enough of the country to persuade him that India's southern region is finally ready to support a meaningful investment of capital.

Over the past week, several investment banks began hosting situation room' type sessions to begin reckoning the damage to the subprime industry and the industry's prospects for the rest of the year.

These days, one would be hard-pressed to find an area of the capital markets that has not been influenced by CDO practices, in one way or another.

Moody's Investors Service team managing director and co-head of the term asset-backed securities team Kumar Kanthan has decided to relinquish his position for personal reasons. Kanthan will be working part time for the rating agency as a senior vice president in the asset finance group, focusing on the group's programs such as its enhanced publication efforts and initiatives related to enhancing methodologies and analytical tools. After transitioning his current responsibilities, Kanthan will "fulfill his desire to carve out some more time to pursue his personal interests outside of work," according to an internal memo.
