Reduction of the lender's risk

"A down payment in this case reduces the lender's risk to less than the value of the collateral, making it more likely that the lender will recover the full amount in the event of default." [From the Wikipedia.]

Does the reduction of the lender's risk = the value of the collateral - a down payment ?

Thank you.

In such a case, indeed the risk is reduced exac

P.S. Sorry.
