CA-8.2.14

Subject to Shari'a approval of the structure, an originator may retain a small equity share in a pool of securitised assets in order to provide over-collateralisation. For example, the originator of a securitisation of a pool of Ijara lease assets might securitise 90% of the pool and retain 10% as an equity position (first loss position) — that is, a residual claim. The Sukuk holders would be entitled to income based on 90%, and the originator, based on the remaining 10%, of the rental income from the pool. The treatment of retained holdings is outlined in Section CA-8.3.
