Meaning of Pledge and hypothecation?

Image
Hypothecation occurs when an asset is pledged as collateral to secure a loan. The owner of the asset does not give up title, possession, or ownership rights, such as income generated by the asset. However, the lender can seize the asset if the terms of the agreement are not met. Hypothecation is different from a mortgage, lien, or assignment. Hypothecation in Mortgages Hypothecation occurs most commonly in mortgage lending. A mortgage is a type of loan that's secured by an underlying property. The borrower technically owns the house, but because the house is pledged as collateral, the mortgage lender has the right to seize the house if the borrower cannot meet the repayment terms of the loan agreement—which occurred during the foreclosure crisis. Auto loans are similarly secured by the underlying vehicle. Unsecured loans, on the other hand, do not work with hypothecation because there is no collateral to claim in the event of default.

Ticket Size in finance for Loans

 What is the meaning of ticket size? Ticket size is the common slang for the amount of capital that a single venture capital firm invests in individual funding rounds. The ticket size varies from firm to firm, with institutional firms with prior experience and large reserves of capital available for deployment often writing the largest checks. Ticket size is commonly known as check size. Close to half of the funding in a round is given by the lead investors, with the remaining given by other participants. This meaning of ticket size is in terms of investment by an institution for equity.  Whereas, a ticket size is the amount of loan that will be given to individual borrower restricted by its capacity to repay or market trend. This is what I understood after going through a lot of financial statements and got a understanding. It may be wrong but I use it this way to be said as slang. But the meaning is not available on internet which astonish me.
