The primary categories of asset-backed securities include existing assets and future cash flow. Existing assets are those currently owned or held by individuals, companies, or organizations. These assets find applications in various sectors such as real estate, travel, finance, healthcare, and education, and are utilized by diverse downstream industries, including small and medium enterprises (SMEs) and large enterprises.

The anticipated growth in the asset-backed securities market is expected to be propelled by the increasing level of real estate activities. Real estate, encompassing land, buildings, and natural resources, spans various property types, including residential, commercial, and industrial buildings. Asset-backed securities play a crucial role in the real estate sector by facilitating capital raising, risk management, and improved liquidity. For instance, as of 2023, Trading Economics reports a rise in the homeownership rate in the US, increasing from 65.90% in the fourth quarter of 2022 to 66% in the first quarter of 2023. Additionally, Realtor notes a 54.7% increase in homes for sale in December 2022 compared to the previous year. Consequently, the surge in real estate activities is a driving force behind the growth of the asset-backed securities market.
The growth of disposable income is anticipated to contribute to the expansion of the asset-backed securities market. Disposable income denotes the funds available to an individual or household for spending and saving after tax deductions from their total income. Increased disposable income generally results in borrowers having more resources to service their debts, reducing the likelihood of defaults in the ABS pool. This, in turn, leads to improved performance and higher returns for investors in the security. For example, a June 2022 report from the Bureau of Economic Analysis indicates a monthly climb of $113.4 billion, or 0.5%, in personal income in May 2022. Disposable personal income (DPI) also rose by $96.5 billion (0.5%). Thus, the growing disposable income is a significant factor driving the growth of the asset-backed securities market.
The emergence of asset-backed securities funds is a noteworthy trend gaining traction in the asset-backed securities market. Major players in the market are actively developing innovative services centered around asset-backed securities funds to reinforce their market standing. For instance, in March 2023, Morgan Stanley, a US-based investment banking company, unveiled a floating-rate global asset-backed securities fund. This fund provides investors exposure to a diversified portfolio of high-quality floating-rate asset-backed securities, including mortgage-backed securities (MBS), asset-backed commercial paper (ABCP), and other such securities. Emphasizing high-quality assets with robust credit ratings, the fund invests across various maturities, from short-term to long-term. Furthermore, it outlines investment objectives, strategies, and associated risks, encompassing credit, market, and liquidity risks. This fund serves as an attractive option for investors seeking diversified exposure to high-quality floating-rate asset-backed securities.
Major companies in the asset-backed securities market are focusing on technological advancements, such as investment strategies, to enhance risk assessment and improve liquidity management. Investment strategies refer to a set of rules, behaviors, or processes that guide investors in allocating their capital across various assets to achieve specific financial goals. These strategies can vary widely, including approaches like value investing, growth investing, index investing, or technical analysis. For example, in September 2024, Legal and General Investment Management Limited, a UK-based corporation, launched the L and G US Securitized Fund and the L and G US Securitized Plus Fund. These funds aim to provide a diverse range of investment opportunities in US investment-grade securitized credit and offer significant benefits for UK Defined Benefit (DB) pension schemes, including enhanced liquidity that allows schemes to access cash when needed. Additionally, they provide diversification across various asset-backed securities, helping to mitigate risks associated with traditional corporate credit investments. The funds also target returns that exceed those typically offered by conventional fixed-income assets, aiming to generate income for investors.
In August 2022, Barclays Plc., a UK-based universal bank, completed the acquisition of Kensington Mortgages Limited for $2.8 billion.
