Item 5.  Other Events

Description of the Mortgage Pool

         ACE Securities Corp. Corporation (the "Registrant") plans a series of
certificates, entitled ACE Securities Corp. Home Equity Loan Trust, Series
2002-HE1 Asset Backed Pass-Through Certificates (the "Certificates"), to be
issued pursuant to a pooling and servicing agreement, dated as of July 1, 2002,
among the Registrant as depositor, Wells Fargo Bank Minnesota, National
Association as master servicer, Bank One, National Association as certificate
administrator and Wells Fargo Bank Minnesota, National Association as trustee.
The Certificates to be designated as the Series 2002-HE1 Certificates will
represent in the aggregate the entire beneficial ownership interest in a trust
fund (the "Trust Fund") consisting primarily of a pool (the "Mortgage Pool") of
conventional, one- to four-family, first lien adjustable-rate and first and
second lien fixed-rate mortgage loans having original terms to maturity up to 30
years (the "Mortgage Loans").

Collateral Term Sheets

         Deutsche Bank Securities, Inc. (the "Underwriter") has advised the
Registrant that it has furnished to certain prospective purchasers of
Certificates certain materials, herein referred to as "Collateral Term Sheets",
in written form, which Collateral Term Sheets are in the nature of data tables
and term sheet information relating to the Mortgage Loans or other assets of the
Trust Fund.

         The Collateral Term Sheets have been provided by the Underwriter. The
information in the Collateral Term Sheets is preliminary and will be superseded
by a prospectus supplement relating to the Certificates and by any other
information subsequently filed with the Commission.

         The Collateral Term Sheets were prepared by the Underwriter at the
request of certain prospective investors. The Collateral Term Sheets may be
based on information that differs from the information set forth in the
prospectus supplement.
