Abstract: 
This paper finds the current regulation of ABS in Europe and the US to be severely flawed with respect to its key intention: the imposition of a strict loss retention requirement. While nominal retention is always 5%, the true level of loss retention varies dramatically across available retention options. We propose a new risk retention metric RM measuring the level of an issuer’s skin-in-the-game and propose making disclosure of the RM-number compulsory for all ABS transactions.
