The rising issuance of green and sustainable ABS is driving the asset backing securities industry by attracting environmentally conscious investors and fulfilling Environmental, Social, Governance (ESG) mandates. For instance, in December 2021, Flexential, a prominent provider of data center colocation and cloud connectivity services, completed the largest single asset-backed securities issuance in the data center industry, which included a large green data center with asset-backed securities financing feature. The company issued these green notes under its new Green Finance Framework, setting a new standard for green eligibility in the data center sector.
Growth in non-traditional asset classes is propelling the asset-backed securities industry by diversifying the types of assets available for securitization such as fintech loans, royalties, and renewable energy projects. This expansion attracts a broader range of investors seeking varied and high-yield investment opportunities. Additionally, it encourages financial innovation and enhances market resilience by reducing dependency on traditional asset classes. The increasing acceptance of new asset classes will drive overall growth and liquidity in the market.
