Sir could you please explain what is this process in simple words. Thanks

It is best explained by an example. Suppose I am a bank and have lots of loans to customers owing to me. I might decide it would be good if I could sell these loans to other people. There is nobody who buy all of them from me, so what I could do is sell ‘shares’ in these total loans so that lots of people could invest smaller amounts and buy a share of these loans. They are not shares in the normal sense of the word, but it is effectively the same. I create securities (the ‘shares’) as a way of selling the asset (the loans).
