OmniCapital, one of Mongolia’s largest NBFI’s, are all set to offer asset-backed securities. The asset-backed securities by OmniCapital will be offered to the investors on the Mongolian Stock Exchange in Feb 2022. These are only the second publicly traded ABS in history of the Mongolia’s fledgling capital markets.
Asset-backed securities (“ABS”) are a fixed-income securities derived from a pool of underlying assets such as loans (e.g., mortgages, consumer loans, auto loans) and receivables (e.g., accounts receivable or credit card receivables). To create ABS, financial institutions such OmniCapital pool multiple loans into a single security that is then sold to investors. The original interest and principal payments are passed on to the investors, while the risk of default is minimized as each ABS only contains a fraction of each underlying asset.
The ABS by OmniCapital have been cleared for the public market in Dec 2021 following review by the local regulators of compliance with requirements under Mongolian law.
