We’re creating a new Asset Backed Security. To structure the product we’re going to Joint Venture with a hedge fund, independent investment bankers who have relationships with the larger banks to provide liquidity and credit enhancement services to the Special Purpose Vehicle. Our role is creating the security, opening up the market for the securities, etc. My question is from the creation and trading of the securities how much would a company make/be compensated for the trade. I know much is based on whether they are Prop trading and the valuation of the security.

I have no idea what you’re asking – not really sure of how compensation there works but maybe someone else knows

See the links above on structured finance. I would actually suggest going into something like a SF-focused hedge fund rather than S&T. Getting into S&T with substantial experience elsewhere is tough.
