Saturation is (mu,kappa)-transferable in T if and only if there is an expansion T1 of T with |T1| = |T| such that if M is a mu-saturated model of T1 and |M| ≥ kappa then the reduct M|L(T) is kappa-saturated. We characterize theories which are superstable without the finite cover property (f.c.p.), or without f.c.p. as, respectively those where saturation is (aleph0,lambda)-transferable or (kappa(T),lambda)-transferable for all lambda. Further if for some mu ≥ |T|, 2mu > mu+, stability is equivalent to: or all mu ≥ |T|, saturation is (μ,2mu)-transferable.
