Journal of Risk Management in Financial Institutions, 2010, vol. 3, issue 2, 135-147

Abstract: This paper highlights the salient features of covered bonds in relation to mortgage-backed securities, and argues for their introduction to the US market accompanied with the appropriate regulatory structure and oversight. The covered bond market has the potential to add significant stability to the banking system while becoming an important source of long-term funding for residential and commercial mortgage loans in the USA.
