Item 5. Other Events.
------------
On or about November 20, 2001, the Registrant will cause the
issuance and sale of approximately $735,443,000 initial principal
amount of ACE Securities Corp. Home Equity Loan Trust, Asset Backed
Pass-Through Certificates, Series 2001-HE1 (the "Certificates")
pursuant to a Pooling and Servicing Agreement to be dated as of
November 1, 2001, between the Registrant as seller, Wells Fargo Bank
Minnesota, National Association, as master servicer and First Union
National Bank, as trustee.
In connection with the sale and the Series 2001-HE1, Class
A-1, Class A-2, Class A- IO, Class M-1, Class M-2 and Class M-3 (the
"Underwritten Certificates"), the Registrant has been advised by
Deutsche Banc Alex. Brown Inc. (the "Underwriter"), that the
Underwriter has furnished to prospective investors certain
computational materials (the "Computational Materials") with respect to
the Underwritten Certificates following the effective date of
Registration Statement No. 333-45458, which Computational Materials are
being filed as an exhibit to this report.
The Computational Materials have been provided by the
Underwriter. The information in the Computational Materials is
preliminary and may be superseded by the Prospectus Supplement relating
to the Certificates and by any other information subsequently filed
with the Securities and Exchange Commission.
The Computational Materials were prepared by the Underwriter
at the request of certain prospective investors, based on assumptions
provided by, and satisfying the special requirements of, such
prospective investors. The Computational Materials may be based on
assumptions that differ from the assumptions set forth in the
Prospectus Supplement. The Computational Materials may not include, and
do not purport to include, information based on assumptions
representing a complete set of possible scenarios. Accordingly, the
Computational Materials may not be relevant to or appropriate for
investors other than those specifically requesting them.
In addition, the actual characteristics and performance of the
mortgage loans underlying the Underwritten Certificates (the "Mortgage
Loans") may differ from the assumptions used in the Computational
Materials, which are hypothetical in nature and which were provided to
certain investors only to give a general sense of how the yield,
average life, duration, expected maturity, interest rate sensitivity
and cash flow characteristics of the Underwritten Certificates might
vary under varying prepayment and other scenarios. Any difference
between such assumptions and the actual characteristics and performance
of the Mortgage Loans will affect the actual yield, average life,
duration, expected maturity, interest rate sensitivity and cash flow
characteristics of the Underwritten Certificates.
