When I was initially placed in the group and heard that I was going to be learning about securitisation, I found it quite daunting because I did not actually know what it was. I was told to watch “The Big-Short” as the movie showcased how the housing bubble in the United States triggered the financial crisis – and apparently this was relevant to the type of work we were going to be doing. I watched the movie and although I was excited to learn about a completely new world of law and finance that I did not know existed, I was worried about what to expect. In this blogpost, I share what my experience entailed.
