What assets are securitized?

Commercial banks engage in the process of originating and securitizing various types of assets. Among the assets that undergo securitization are auto loans, credit card receivables, trade receivables, mortgage loans, and more recently, small business loans. This practice involves bundling these financial assets together and issuing securities backed by them, which are then sold to investors.

Auto loans represent one significant category of assets that undergo securitization. These loans, extended by banks to individuals for purchasing vehicles, are packaged into securities, offering investors exposure to the cash flows generated by the loan repayments. Similarly, credit card receivables, which comprise outstanding balances owed by credit cardholders, are securitized to create investment opportunities for interested parties.

Moreover, mortgage loans, including both residential and commercial mortgages, form another critical component of securitized assets. By securitizing mortgage loans, banks can offload the risk associated with these loans while generating liquidity to fund new lending activities. Additionally, the securitization of small business loans has gained traction in recent years, providing access to capital for small enterprises and diversifying investment portfolios.

In summary, assets such as auto loans, credit card receivables, trade receivables, mortgage loans, and small business loans are commonly securitized by commercial banks. This process involves bundling these assets into securities, which are then sold to investors, thereby facilitating liquidity and risk management for the originating institutions.
