Securitization is not in and of itself dangerous. It is simply the transference of risk from one party to another. The question becomes whether the assets actually exist (fraud), whether there is sufficient disclosure of asset quality for the investor to make an informed decision and whether the issuer can competently service the security. Listed securities fall under SEC review and they do a pretty good job of auditing issuers for exactly the above items.
