The Big Picture
OPPORTUNITY S.A. is a securitisation vehicle based in Luxembourg founded in 2005.
With more than 2 billion EUR AUM, OPPORTUNITY S.A. is among the largest Luxembourg securitisation companies.
OPPORTUNITY S.A. is a ring-fenced compartments company acting under the Luxembourg law of 22 March 2004 on securitisation, as amended (the “Law”).
Business Model
“Securitisation”, within the meaning of the Law, means the transaction by which a securitisation undertaking acquires or assumes, directly or through another undertaking, risks relating to claims, other assets, or obligations assumed by third parties or inherent to all or part of the activities of third parties and issues financial instruments or contracts, for all or part of it, any type of loan, whose value or yield depends on such risks.
The articles of incorporation of OPPORTUNITY S.A. authorise the management body to create one or more compartments, each compartment corresponding to a distinct part of its assets and liabilities. The Law also provides that the rights of the investors and of the creditors are limited to the assets of the securitisation undertaking. Where such rights relate to a compartment or have arisen in connection with the creation, the operation or the liquidation of a compartment, they are limited to the assets of that compartment.
The assets of a compartment are exclusively available to satisfy the rights of investors in relation to that compartment and the rights of creditors whose claims have arisen in connection with the creation, the operation or the liquidation of that compartment. As between investors, each compartment shall be treated as a separate entity.
Focus
Risks relating to the holding of assets, whether movable or immovable, tangible or intangible, as well as risks resulting from the obligations assumed by third parties or relating to all or part of the activities of third parties are capable of being securitised.
