 ===Self-liquidating financial asset===
 A “[[self-liquidating financial asset]]” is generally viewed as one that is capable, pursuant to its terms, of generating sufficient income by way of distributions and payment at maturity to return the ABS investment.

 To be in scope for risk-retention, the sponsor needs to be offloading the assets in the first place. If it just originates them in the market (as is the case for certain CLO structures, for example) the requirement for there to be a “transfer” is not met. On February 9, 2018, the Circuit Court, reversing an earlier ruling, ruled<ref>See [https://www.lsta.org/news-resources/clo-risk-retention-ruling-analysis-from-the-trenches/ press release].</ref> that collateral managers in “open-market” CLO transactions are not subject to the risk retention rule or any related regulations.

-If you do your repack in non-securities format — such as a loan — then the risk retention rules don’t seem to apply. Which — if true — is nice. We think it has something to do with the definition of asset-backed secuirity]] which must be — you know — a ''security''. A bilateral, non-negotiable loan isn’t. Now it is not beyond the great wall of credibility that [[U.S. Attorney]]s and their regulators might confect a disposition that a loan is a security — many of them seem to think of a swap as a security, so why not — so be extra careful, young fool, when galloping into this terrain, sparsely-troubled with angel footsteps as it appears to be.
