Payment on securities depends on the cash flows generated by thepooled assets. Separation of the original owner from the assets ensures that theinvestors in asset-backed securities are not exposed to a credit deterioration ofthe original owner. Securitization trust is structured as an entity that can notbecome the subject of a bankruptcy case.
