My guess is very few, if any. Mortgage securitization is a US invention. I'm a novice in most areas of real estate. Are mortgages in other countries played the same as they used to be 30+ years ago in the US? The bank who financed it kept it until it matured?

are you sure? UK subprime appears to be worse than US variety..see the recent bloomberg article on that. credit bubble is rampant even in emerging (money supply increase -india @30%, russia @50% yoy ) and this credit has caused the asset hyperinflation. So many banks/investors are holding this on paper CDO or otherwise.
