Toxic Waste

   Also found in: Dictionary/thesaurus, Medical, Acronyms, Encyclopedia, Wikipedia, Hutchinson 0.04 sec.
Toxic Waste
A slang term referring to securities that are unattractive due to certain underlying provisions or risks making them generally illiquid with poor pricing schemes and transparency.

Notes:
Mainly used in reference to CMOs, toxic waste represents the small portion of these products that are byproducts created as a result of providing the majority of CMOs with minimal risk. In effect, this small portion of byproducts is used as outlets for transferring a substantial portion of the underlying risks involved in making the obligations and then marketed to investors.
