Concise definition of the term residential mortgage-backed security
A residential mortgage-backed security is a form of securitization where residential debt, such as mortgages, home-equity loans, and subprime mortgages are pooled together and sold to a special purpose vehicle (SPV). The SPV then issues the RMBS using the residential debt it has acquired as collateral.
