LIMITED RECOURSE DEBT

A debt obligation which gives the creditor the right to claim a limited amount of the debtor’s assets in the event of default. The debtor will pay a lower interest rate compared to unsecured bonds. Sitting between secured and unsecured obligation in terms of backing behind the loan, it eventually shifts to secured or non-recourse in the completion of a certain event, which can be completing of a project or establishing a particular revenue stream for which it was issued.
