the collection of cash flows

Chinese translation: 现金流的获取

Bus/Financial - Insurance
English term or phrase: the collection of cash flows
原文：
XXX Corp. is exposed to credit risks in its portfolio that may arise from deterioration in the credit markets, wherein such deterioration in credit performance could lead to potential erosion in the quality of assets and also the collection of cash flows from such assets within structured securities that it has guaranteed.

问题：不理解整句的意思，所以不知the collection of cash flows前面应该是lead to，还是potential erosion in(如果是后者，为什么不是erosions)?

Chinese translation:现金流的获取
Explanation:
我的理解应该是并列关系，即potential erosion in the collection of cash flows ***。

至于为什么不是erosions，首先erosion好像不可数吧；其次（我语法学的很差）如果是像decrease in A and B，似乎decrease不需要是复数吧。

多种现金流


Explanation:
the collection of cash flows这里的意思是the group of cash flows

在用了cash flows表达复数的概念以后，还要再加上the collection of，是为了强调”多种”和“所有”的意义。

句子结构:

could lead to potential erosion in the quality of assets and also in the quality of the collection of cash flows ...

My guess.

Asker: 谢谢Shelley! 觉得potential erosion in对应两个部分：1.the quality of assets；2.the collection of cash flows。所以collection在这里还是归集之意吧。
