  "summary": "Brookfield Asset Management is exploring a $1.8bn whole-business securitisation of HomeServe, aiming to generate a $600m dividend for the private equity firm. The UK home-repairs provider is in preliminary discussions with lenders over the asset-backed financing, with Jefferies leading the proposed deal. The transaction would refinance existing HomeServe debt and fund the dividend, illustrating how whole-business securitisations can provide private equity owners with an alternative route to returning capital without selling an underlying portfolio company.",
