About the Team

Our Transaction Management Team Supports Asset Backed Securitization Financing.  Asset-backed securities are essentially pools of smaller assets held by various financial institutions, such as banks, credit unions, and other lenders. Most of the assets are loans provided to individuals in the form of mortgages, credit card debt, or auto loans. Since the loans provide the lender with interest and principal payments, they are assets on the lender’s balance sheet.  However, the assets are often small and illiquid and cannot be sold to investors individually. Therefore, financial institutions will pool multiple assets together through a process known as securitization. The process results in new securities with a diversified risk profile, as each security only contains a fraction of the total pool of underlying assets. The interest and principal payments on the assets are also passed on to the investor, as well as the risk.
