As a baseline result, we initially find an increase in portfolio (downside) risk-diversification when adding CDS indices, which is observed irrespective of both CDS markets, investor-types and different sub-periods, including the global financial crisis and European sovereign debt crisis. In addition, the analysis reveals higher portfolio excess returns and performance in CDS index portfolios, however, these effects clearly differ between markets, investor-types and sub-periods. Overall, portfolio benefits of adding CDS indices mainly result from the fact that institutional investors replace sovereign bond indices rather than stock indices by CDS indices due to better risk-return characteristics. Our baseline findings remain robust under a variety of robustness checks. Results from sensitivity analyses provide further important implications for institutional investors with a strategic focus on a long-term conservative portfolio management.}},

transactions issued by 57 stock-listed banks across the EU-12 plus Switzerland
over the period from 1997 to 2010, this paper empirically analyzes the relationship
between true sale loan securitization and the issuing banks' non-performing loan
to total assets ratios (NPLRs). We provide evidence for an NPLR-reducing effect
during the boom phase of securitizations in Europe suggesting that banks in our
sample may (partly) securitize NPLs as the most risky junior tranche and do not
(fully) retain NPLs as a reputation and quality signal towards less informed investors
in imperfect capital markets. In contrast, we find the reverse effect during the
crises period in Europe indicating that issuing banks provided credit enhancement
and demonstrated `skin in the game'. Our baseline result remains robust when
controlling for endogeneity concerns and a potential persistence in the time series
of the NPL data. Moreover, results from a variety of sensitivity analysis reveal
that the NPLR-reducing effect is stronger for opaque securitization transactions,
for issuing banks exhibiting higher average levels of NPLRs and for banks operating
from non-PIIGS countries. In addition, a reduction of NPLRs through securitization
is observed for issued collateralized debt obligations, residential mortgage-backed
securities, consumer and other unspecied loans as well as for non-frequently issuing,
systemically less important and worse-rated banks. Our analysis offers essential
insights into the loan risk allocation process through securitization and provides
important implications for the vital debate on reducing NPL exposures and the
process of revitalizing and regulating the European securitization market.}},
