This paper examines how adverse selection is responsible for the observed differences in swap spreads (issue yields to maturity over interest-rate swap rates) among AAA-rated asset-backed (consumer credit, auto loans or lease receivables) securities issued in Japan between 1996 and 2002. The results indicate that the cross- sectional differences in swap spreads reflect not only the characteristics of the originator and underlying assets, but also the extent to which asymmetric information between originators and investors can be mitigated by the originators' subordination. In particular, by holding larger subordinated portions than required to cover possible losses on underlying loans, originators can narrow swap spreads, as well as mitigate market impacts when asset-backed securities are issued.
