Securitisation

Securitisation is a financing process in which a corporate entity moves assets to an ostensibly bankruptcy-remote vehicle to obtain lower interest rates from potential lenders--because the assets cannot be seized in a bankruptcy proceeding, the risk is less for lenders and they are willing to offer a lower rate.

The technique comes under the umbrella of structured finance as it applies to assets that typically are illiquid contracts (i.e. assets that cannot easily be sold).
