Securitized products are financial investments created by pooling many loans or receivables—like mortgages, car loans or credit-card debt—and turning them into tradable securities that pay investors from the borrowers’ payments. Think of it as baking a big fruit pie from many different fruits and selling slices: the pie’s quality depends on the ingredients, so investors care about the borrowers’ ability to pay, interest-rate and prepayment risk, and how easy the slices are to buy or sell.
