debts/bonds with underlying real estate assets Explanation: I suggest debts/bonds (probably second is best) because I think company ABC would be happy to provide services to anyone on either side of such transactions, and so "receivables" may not always apply. "with underlying (...) assets" I think is very common and correct. For "real estate assets", it does cross my mind to wonder whether they could possibly have a broader view of "immobilier", but this seems almost certainly correct to me. I can try suggest reasons to wonder about broader meanings. For example, "asset backed security" is an apt descriptor for many things traditionally linked more explicitly to "real estate" classes of property, and I half wonder how explicit they are intending to be in ruling out other classes of property. Does this line of text also include as a part of the target audience a person who wants to use 100 patents as collateral to start a business? |

fixed-income instruments backed by property or infrastructure assets Explanation: Wordy, but the most usual way to say it. If you're investing directly in property or infrastructure, or buying shares in other companies that do, you're making equity investments. If you're buying debt instruments, you're making fixed-income investments. Different asset class, even if the target business sector is the same. |
