Item 5.  Other Events
         ------------

     Reference is hereby made to the  Registrant's  Registration  Statement on
Form S-3 (File No.  333-56213)  pursuant  to which the  Registrant  registered
issuances of ACE Securities Corp. asset backed securities, issuable in various
series,  for sale in accordance  with the  provisions of the Securities Act of
1933, as amended (the "Act").  Reference is also hereby made to the Prospectus
dated July 26, 1999, and the related  Prospectus  Supplement,  dated August 6,
1999  (collectively,  the "Prospectus"),  which were previously filed with the
Commission  pursuant to Rule 424(b)(5),  relating to the publicly  offered ACE
Securities Corp. Home Loan Trust Asset Backed Notes, Series 1999-A, consisting
of the  Class  A Asset  Backed  Notes  (the  "Publicly  Offered  Securities").
Capitalized  terms used but not defined  herein have the meanings  assigned to
such terms in the Prospectus.

     The Publicly Offered Securities were sold to Deutsche Bank Securities Inc
(the "Underwriter")  pursuant to the terms of an underwriting  agreement dated
July 24, 1999,  (the  "Underwriting  Agreement")  among ACE Securities  Corp.,
German American  Capital  Corporation  and Deutsche Bank  Securities  Inc., as
Underwriter,  as  supplemented  by a terms agreement dated August 6, 1999 (the
"Underwriting  Terms Agreement"),  among ACE Securities Corp., German American
Capital Corporation and Deutsche Bank Securities Inc., as Underwriter.  A copy
of the  Underwriting  Agreement was  previously  filed with the  Commission as
Exhibit 1.1 to a Current Report on Form 8-K dated June 24, 1999. A copy of the
Underwriting Terms Agreement is filed herewith as Exhibit 1.1.

     The  Publicly  Offered  Securities  were issued  pursuant to an Indenture
dated as of August 1, 1999 (the "Indenture") between ACE Securities Corp. Home
Loan Trust 1999-A (the "Issuer" or the "Trust") and First Union National Bank,
as Indenture  Trustee (the  "Indenture  Trustee").  A copy of the Indenture is
filed herewith as Exhibit 4.1.

     The Publicly  Offered  Securities  are secured by the assets of the Trust
pursuant to the Indenture. The assets of the Trust primarily include a pool of
home  loans  (the  "Home  Loans")  consisting  of loans  which are  secured by
mortgages,  deeds of trust or other  similar  security  instruments.  The Home
Loans consist of loans for which the related proceeds were used to finance (i)
property  improvements,  (ii) debt  consolidation,  or (iii) a combination  of
property improvements, cash-out or other consumer purposes.

     Payments of principal  and interest  due on the Notes are  guaranteed  by
MBIA Insurance  Corporation  ("MBIA") pursuant to an Insurance Agreement dated
as of August 1, 1999 (the "Insurance Agreement") among MBIA, as Insurer, GACC,
as Seller, GMAC Mortgage  Corporation,  as Servicer,  ACE Securities Corp., as
Depositor, and First Union National Bank, as Indenture Trustee.

     The Home Loans were sold by German  American  Capital  Corporation to the
Registrant  pursuant  to the terms of a Home Loan Sale  Agreement  dated as of
August 1, 1999 (the "Home Loan Sale Agreement") and were  simultaneously  sold
by the  Registrant to the Trust  pursuant to the Sale and Servicing  Agreement
(defined below).

     The Home Loans will be serviced by GMAC Mortgage Corporation, pursuant to
the terms of a Sale and  Servicing  Agreement  dated as of August 1, 1999 (the
"Sale and Servicing  Agreement")  among ACE Securities  Corp.  Home Loan Trust
1999-A,  as  Issuer,   ACE  Securities  Corp.  as  Depositor,   GMAC  Mortgage
Corporation, as Servicer, and First Union National Bank, as Indenture Trustee.
A copy of the Sale and Servicing Agreement is filed herewith as Exhibit 10.1.

     The Home Loan Pool consists of 14,072 Home Loans having a Pool  Principal
Balance as of the August 1, 1999 Cut-Off Date of approximately $437,721,096.
