Tranches

   Also found in: Dictionary/thesaurus, Wikipedia 0.01 sec.
Tranche
A part of an issue. A tranche sometimes refers to a single issue of a security released at different times. For example, a company may announce that is intends to issue $10,000,000 in bonds in two tranches of $5,000,000. Tranches are important to collateralized mortgage obligations, which are backed by pools of mortgages. These mortgages are arranged in tranches that mature at different times, for instance in 10 years, 15 years, and 30 years.

Investopedia explains Tranches

This is a term often used to describe a specific class of bonds within an offering in which each tranche offers varying degrees of risk to the investor. For example, a collateralized mortgage obligation (CMO) that offers a partitioned mortgage-backed security (MBS) portfolio might have mortgages (tranches) that have 1-year, 2-year, 5-year, and 20-year maturities. Tranches can also refer to segments that are offered domestically and internationally.
