By definition, securitisation refers to the parcelling and selling pools of eligible assets by the company owning the assets to a special purpose vehicle (SPV) company, which issues debt securities to finance the purchase of such assets. The SPV uses cash flow from the assets to service the debt it created to purchase these assets. The debt securities are usually rated and tradable in the secondary market."
