insured debt/liabilities, maybe secured debt Explanation: I think this might be insured or secured debt (US). Investopedia: What Does Secured Debt Mean? Debt backed or secured by collateral to reduce the risk associated with lending. An example would be a mortgage, your house is considered collateral towards the debt. If you default on repayment, the bank seizes your house, sells it and uses the proceeds to pay back the debt. Investopedia explains Secured Debt Assets backing debt or a debt instrument are considered security, which means they can be claimed by the lender if default occurs. Obviously unsecured debt is higher risk, and as such lenders of unsecured money typically require a much higher return. Is there any more context? This might be a very specialised term. Dette garantie is also used as well as dette assortie d'une garantie. Is there an indication that the author might not be sophisticated in his financial language, or is being creative? I don't think I've encountered the term 'passif assuré'. The term as such does not seem to appear on google and doesn't appear in any of my finance dictionnaries. There are lots of hits for 'secured debt', quite a lot fewer for 'secured liabilities'. It might literally, really just mean 'insured liabilities'. One can insure liabilities to a certain extent through derivative contracts, credit default swaps, self-insurance, mortgage insurance, etc. Can't tell without more context. Property mortgage liabilities are almost always insured in the States. If you google "insured liabilities' you can get a sense of what it means and how it's used. But it seems like the French term should get at least a few google hits if it is an accepted term. -------------------------------------------------- Note added at 18 hrs (2010-06-15 14:57:56 GMT) -------------------------------------------------- It looks like you are on the right track. |
