The European ABS Market

1 The European ABS Market 2April 17 May 212 Markit Structured Finance Research 17/5/212 European ABS Pricing and Sectors The elections in Greece and France, which both saw anti-austerity parties come into power, took their toll on an already struggling credit market which saw sovereign CDS widen significantly. French CDS widened from 18bps to 22bps in the space of a week, playing catch up with their historical high of 245bps in November 211. Meanwhile, German CDS spreads remained unchanged. The impact of these elections on the ABS market was initially subdued with most bonds trading at levels similar to those in the pre-election period. It took a week for the ABS market to feel the impact. As usual, Granite, a benchmark of the European ABS market, can serve to illustrate market trends. All Granite tranches went down during the past month. The A, B, M and C tranches are now traded at 95.4, 84.3, 75.3 and 58.5 from 95.8, 86, 76 and 64. The most affected tranche, the C tranche, lost 6 points in a month. Before that the activity in the European ABS market was mainly dominated by BWICs. The last month also saw Aire Valley Master Trust (UK buy to let RMBS) breach a non asset trigger event since its size is now lower than the minimum required one. As per Granite in 28, the waterfall has now changed from pro rata to sequential. This will have a direct impact on the WAL of these bonds. Senior bonds should have lower WALs and junior ones much higher ones (extension risk). Interestingly, contrary to what was expected, prices did not move as much as expected and the price of senior bonds went up on that day by only a point. Greece s new elections will decide whether or not the country will accept the austerity plan and remain in the eurozone. A Grexit and the ensuring devaluation of the drachma would severely impact the bond market and remaining Greek ABS securities in particular.

4 Economics Data House prices fell by 2.4 per cent in April according to the Halifax House Price Index. Nationwide s index, meanwhile, indicated a mere.2 per cent drop during the same period. Both indices also point to a year-on-year drop (.5 per cent drop for Halifax and.9 per cent for Nationwide.) The Markit/CIPS UK Construction PMI posted 55.8 in April showing a continuous growth rate in UK construction activity. The growth can be attributed to strong commercial activity which came in at 57.7 and a positive housing activity at 51.3 up from 5.3 last month.

However, in terms of volume we are still behind where we were at this time last year. The lack of new issuance continues to support a strong secondary market. Looking ahead the buzz is on the new Fosse deal which will include an Aussie tranche and new credit card paper from Gracechurch Card.

5 Rating Actions We mentioned in the previous review that Fitch Ratings placed a significant number of Spanish ABS on Rating Watch Negative. This month S&P downgraded Spain s sovereign rating BBB+ which had a knock on effect on Spanish ABS securities. We also saw the downgrade of over 3 tranches across 76 deals by S&P. Despite a shrinking asset base, and now with a non-asset trigger breached, junior tranches of Aire Valley traches were upgraded by S&P following revised rating criteria. In the CMBS space, Moody s downgraded the senior tranches across several Tesco Property Finance deals and Fitch downgraded both senior and junior tranches across several Business Mortgage Finance deals. Both rating actions are related to poor performance and concerns over future performance. Deals Affected by Rating Actions (Source: Markit European ABS) Deal Country/Sector Action Aeolos S.A.
