technically, in the context of a securitisation, the entity which issues the debt instruments backed by the securitised assets which it has purchased from an originator. This is usually an insolvency remote special purpose vehicle. However, colloquially if inaccurately, the term is also often used to describe the entity which ultimately receives the cash raised by the securitisation, ie the originator.
