    Solution

    Securitization is a process by which a company pools its different financial assets/debts to form a consolidated financial instrument which is issued to investors. In return, the investors in such securities get interest.   This process enhances liquidity in the market. This serves as a useful tool, especially for financial companies, as its helps them raise funds. If such a company has already issued a large number of loans to its customers and wants to further add to the number, then the practice of securitization can come to its rescue.  
     
    In such a case, the company can club its assets/debts, form financial instruments and then issue them to investors. This enables the firm to raise capital and provide more loans to its customers. On the other hand, investors are able to diversify their portfolios and earn quality returns.
