The investors are issued a security which yield and a value are linked with the future cash flow (usually a discounted cash flow).
The security pays a coupon (or an appreciation in value of a zero-coupon bond) with a yield depending on the future cash flow securitized by the SPV.

The securitization SPV may also raise capital by issuing securities which proceed will serve to fund a company, a third party activity or an investments into such a future cash flow.

The value of acquisition of the future cash flow is usually calculated upfront by a discount of the future cash flow as an immediate payment. The investors obtain a yield taking into consideration the uncertainty of receiving such future income streams.
