créances adossées à des actifs

French to English Bus/Financial Finance (general) (AMF) Formulaire de notification d’exercice d’activité
Very similar to the question I asked 5 min ago.

The last 4 words mean "asset-backed": it's "creances" I'm not sure about here.


"Les investissements immobiliers qui seront réalisés auront pour but de dégager un revenu régulier pour les clients d’ABC Company et de créer de la valeur dans le cadre d’une gestion dynamique basée principalement sur l’expertise immobilière de la société et sur des équipes locales d’assets managers : identification d’actifs immobiliers, type d’actif, connaissance du marché, conjoncture économique et état des marchés financiers. Les investissements immobiliers peuvent couvrir toute typologie d’actifs : bureaux, commerces, résidentiel, industriel, logistique, hôtelier ou autres secteurs alternatifs (loisirs, médical, logement étudiants, …).
ABC Company pourra investir ou conseiller d’investir dans des créances adossées à des actifs ou portefeuilles immobiliers ou des infrastructures."

Many thanks

asset-backed securities

Universally abbreviated as ABSs. The archetypal securitisation vehicles.

'Securities' is correct here for "créances": the thing that is backed is necessarily a financial instrument. The assets used to back it are typically 'receivables': loan receivables, credit card receivables, etc.

But keep 'mortgage' out of it. Mortgage-backed securities (MBSs) are just *one* type of ABS -- one where all the assets backing it are mortgage-loan receivables. Even in a real estate context, not all property loans are mortgage loans.

mortgage backed securities

A type of asset-backed security that is secured by a mortgage or collection of mortgages. These securities must also be grouped in one of the top two ratings as determined by a accredited credit rating agency, and usually pay periodic payments that are similar to coupon payments. Furthermore, the mortgage must have originated from a regulated and authorized financial institution.

Also known as a "mortgage-related security" or a "mortgage pass through."
