What is private investment grade asset-based finance?

Lending that is collateralized by distinct bankruptcy-remote pools of assets whose cash flows pay the principal and interest expected by bond holders and whose liquidation value proves a second layer of protection in case of default.  In short, lending against specified and bankruptcy-remote collateral.

Any contractual cash flow can be collateralized, such as:  

  • Royalty payments
  • Personal loans
  • Auto loans
  • Mortgages
  • Accounts receivable
  • Credit card receivables

These examples of individual contractual cash flows can be bundled together and lent against.
