securitize
Convert to bonds
Securitize is a financial term meaning to convert assets into tradable securities.
A bank might securitize mortgages by pooling them and selling shares to investors: The lender securitized thousands of home loans.
The practice spreads risk but can obscure it—securitized subprime mortgages contributed to the 2008 financial crisis.
