Asset-Backed Securities - Overview
Asset-backed securities (ABS) and mortgage-backed securities (MBS) are securities for which payments are hedged with an asset pool. In the case of ABS, the asset pool contains receivables, whereas, in the case of MBS, the asset pool contains receivables hedged by a mortgage. ABS and MBS are generally securities repaid by installments that may change depending on how the borrows pay back the underlying loans, for example.
Main features of the Asset-backed securities and Mortgage-backed securities management include the portraying of installments calculated using the linear method or CPR or PSA methods.
