Definition

The Seasoning of a Portfolio of Receivables (also in a Securitisation context) denotes the time period over which newly originated receivables have been observed.

This time period is important as the full behavioral profile of a given pool of borrowers may only reveal over a time period long enough to include, e.g. a range of different (macro)economic environments. The effects of seasoning could be a drop in prepayment / default rates caused by aging of the portfolio.
