Definition and Examples
- Definition
- Asset-Backed Securities (ABS) are financial instruments backed by a pool of assets, typically loans or receivables, that generate cash flows to pay interest and principal to investors. ABS allow lenders to transfer the risk of the underlying assets to investors and are commonly used to improve liquidity and raise capital.
