A secured term loan is a bank or investor loan with a set repayment schedule and interest, backed by specific company assets that the lender can claim if payments stop—think of it like a mortgage on a business asset. It matters to investors because it sits higher in the company’s payment order than equity, reducing lender risk but adding fixed cash obligations that affect free cash flow, leverage and the likelihood of losses for shareholders if the company struggles.
secured overnight financing rate (sofr)financial
A secured overnight financing rate (SOFR) is the interest rate on very short, one‑day loans that are backed by high‑quality collateral (like government bonds), so lenders face less risk. Investors care because SOFR is a widely used benchmark that sets the cost of borrowing and the pricing of loans, bonds and derivatives; think of it as a trusted yardstick for short‑term interest costs that influences returns and valuations across markets.
basis pointsfinancial
Basis points are a way to measure small changes in interest rates or percentages, where one basis point equals 0.01%. For example, if a loan's interest rate increases by 50 basis points, it's gone up by 0.50%. They help people understand tiny differences in rates that can add up over time, making financial comparisons clearer.
