German term

Pfandbrief

German to English Bus/Financial Investment / Securities
Pfandbriefe sind durch Grund und Boden besichert.
Öffentliche Pfandbriefe (früherer Name: Kommunalobligationen) sind mit Forderungen gegen die
öffentliche Hand besichert.
Schiffspfandbriefe sind durch Hypotheken auf Schiffe besichert und stellen eine Sonderform des
Pfandbriefs dar.
Hypothekenanleihen sind ebenfalls durch Grund und Boden besichert, unterliegen aber nicht den
strengen Anforderungen des Pfandbriefgesetzes.
Proposed translations (English)
3 +2 public-sector debentures / mortgage bonds

njbeckett (asker) Mar 10, 2010:
I didn't change the headline. I put both words there because according to most dictionaries they are both mortgage bonds, so I wanted to contrast the two terms.

German term (edited): Pfandbrief/Hypothekenanleihe
Selected

public-sector debentures / mortgage bonds

comes up in Zahn as:public-sector debentures []debentures issued by private mortgage banks and public sector credit institutions against their lendings to the public sector, --> Kommunaldarlehen

Pfandbrief by itself comes up as: mortgage bond (debenture) Pfandbriefe are issued by private and public sector mortgage banks as well as ship mortgage institutions to fund housing and shipbuilding loans. According to the German Mortgage Bank Act these fixed-rate instruments must be fully collateralised by first mortgage loans. -> Considering the öffentliche, I'd stick with the first solution.

And apparently Hypothekenanleihe is also a mortgage bond as offered e.g. by WGF.

Please note: the question was changed after my answer, so please disregard teh public sector debentures, they do not apply to the questions anymore.
Example sentence:

The WGF AG mortgage bond is premium reserve compatible

aaargh - the question was changed after my answer - orginally two terms were asked (see top line) - for Pfandbriefe without further qualifications, definitely mortgage bonds.
