To convert non-tradable assets into tradable securities.
Senior claims, therefore, carry a relatively lower degree of [[credit risk]].
 
For example turning non-tradable assets, like residential mortgage loans, into tradable assets (such as mortgage-backed securities).
 
 
This is often undertaken through a securitisation special purpose vehicle.
 
 
The credit risk of the assets is divided into tranches, and payments to the investors are dependent on the performance of the assets.
 
When a special purpose vehicle is used, the assets are transferred to the special purpose vehicle, which then issues securities.
 
 
Non-performance of underlying assets is a key risk for investors, and was one of the triggers for the Global Financial Crisis (GFC).
