TPG and Jackson Financial Inc. Announce Launch of Long-Term Strategic Partnership

Key Terms

asset based finance financial

Asset based finance is lending that uses a company’s tangible or short-term financial assets—such as inventory, unpaid customer invoices, machinery or property—as collateral for a loan; the lender can take or sell those assets if the borrower fails to pay. It matters to investors because it affects a company’s liquidity and risk profile: like taking a loan against your car or home, it can make borrowing easier and cheaper but reduces flexibility and gives lenders a clearer claim on assets if things go wrong.

direct lending financial

Direct lending is when investors or investment funds lend money straight to companies instead of those companies borrowing from traditional banks. It matters to investors because it can offer higher interest income than public bonds or bank deposits, much like lending money to a neighbor for a premium, but it also carries greater credit risk and lower liquidity since the loans are often private and harder to sell.

aum financial

Assets under management (AUM) is the total market value of investments that a financial firm or fund manages on behalf of clients. Investors watch AUM like the size of a shop: larger AUM can mean more fee revenue, greater market influence and perceived stability, while rapid changes in AUM signal growing popularity or redemptions that may affect future earnings and investment strategy.
