Abstract
With the evolution of the Internet age, e-commerce giants have established small loan entities to accommodate the booming B2C business model. While these online small loan providers retain the traditional attributes of their counterparts, they are adept at addressing the financing needs of micro-enterprises and individuals. Furthermore, these digital lenders have a broader reach in terms of geography and demographic distribution and possess enhanced capabilities to assess borrowers' creditworthiness. Such strengths make them well-suited for asset securitization, an emerging financing approach. This paper will analyze “China International Capital Corporation -Ant Financial special asset management program” which is one of the important asset securitizations of Internet small loan in China. The analysis will focus on the basic features and innovations of the structure of the securities. In addition, various economic indicators of Ant Financial will be considered to analyze the effectiveness and risks of Ant asset securitization. This study provides both theoretical and practical insights into Ant Financial Services’ asset securitization. Moreover, the research has analyzed the reasons behind the suspension of Ant Group's IPO, its subsequent rectifications, as well as the future trends of internet finance in China, providing beneficial reference for other companies.
