SFI

SFI, or "Structured Finance Industry," refers to a segment of finance that focuses on creating complex financial products by pooling various types of assets, such as loans or mortgages. These assets are then divided into smaller pieces and sold to investors, often in the form of securities. SFI plays a crucial role in managing risk and providing liquidity in the financial market. It helps businesses and governments access capital while offering investors opportunities to earn returns, but it can also introduce complexity and risk, as seen in the financial crisis of 2008 when certain structured products failed.
