Securitisation 101: What are ABS and MBS?

Investors are increasingly showing renewed interest in fixed income. Earlier, we introduced the basics of the securitisation market and how it has evolved over the past decade. Based on their investment objectives and risk appetite, here investors could learn about the potential benefits asset-backed securities (ABS) and mortgage-backed securities (MBS) could bring to their investment portfolio.

What are asset-backed securities?

Investments involve risk. Not all investments are suitable for all investors. Investors should seek professional advice, evaluate based on their investment objectives and risk appetite and read offering documents before investing. Investments are not similar to or comparable with fixed deposits. Diversification does not guarantee positive returns or eliminate risk of loss.
