medium · Asset-Backed Securities collateral

Why does a securitized pool of 10,000 subprime auto loans often have a lower cost of funds than an unsecured bond from the same originator?

  1. Investors favor single-name risk over diversified pool exposure
  2. The law of large numbers makes the aggregate pool losses highly predictable
  3. FDIC deposit insurance guarantees the senior ABS tranches
  4. Subprime borrowers are charged lower rates once loans enter the ABS trust
