What is an asset backed securities transaction?
An asset backed securities transaction is a way for a lender to raise funds using the loans it has already written. The lender bundles receivables, such as vehicle and equipment loans, and issues securities funded by the cash flows from them.
In broad terms, the structure works in three steps:
- Receivables, such as loan repayments owed to the lender, are pooled together.
- Securities backed by that pool are issued to investors.
- Repayments on the receivables flow through to the security holders.
Securitisation is a funding tool, and it can support a lender’s ability to write new loans. For investors in a lender, the pricing of a transaction is one indicator of how the company is funding its lending activity.
