  • Asset backed securities represent a class of fixed income products, created out of pooling together assets, and creating bonds that represent participation in the cash flows from the asset pool.
  • For example, select housing, loans of a loan originator (say, a housing finance company) can be pooled, and bonds can be created, which represent a claim on the repayments made by home loan borrowers.
  • Such bonds are called mortgage-backed securities. In some markets like India, these bonds are known as structured obligations (SO). Assets with regular streams of cash flows are ideally suited for creating asset-backed securities.
  • Some of other structures are: (a) deferred interest bonds, where the borrower could defer the payment of coupons in the initial 1 to 3 year period; (b) Step-up bonds, where the coupon is stepped up periodically, so that the interest burden in the initial years is lower, and increases over time.
  • Warrants give the investors the right to buy shares of the company in the future. The number of shares that the warrant entitles the holder to subscribe to at a pre-determined date and price are specified at the time of issue.
