US & European Secondary Market Themes
Market Tone:
Following the joint announcement in May between the ECB and BOE on support, the ECB’s
announcement of the ABS purchase program has instilled some confidence back into the
European secondary market, with immediate benefit felt in periphery ABS/RMBS. The path this
program follows is yet to be defined but hinting that it will be real economy focused and assisting
non-financial companies in the private sector.
New issues continued to trade up in the European secondary market whilst BWICs continue to
be the most efficient mode of execution to the market. In the US, non-agency RMBS BWIC
volumes hit $566m in the last week of June with supply driven by 05 and 06 Subprime vintages.
This has fallen since the middle of the month where volumes hit $788m with Snr Alt-A hybrid
and Option ARM driving that volume and a 24 line $1bn BWIC list traded around 11 th June driven
by the same asset classes.
Fundamentals:
1. Leveraged Loans: Global leveraged loan volume reached $353.2 bn in H1 2014. This is the
second highest H1 on record, only falling behind 2007’s $634.1 bn. US CLO managers appear
not to be using up their cov-lite loan buckets in deals, according to Moody’s, despite the covlite market growing in size since 2010 and buckets which are 50-60% of some recent deals
with an average of 26% usage over 255 US CLO 2.0s. As there is no universal definition of
cov-lite, it could be that these are being reported lower due to the tight definition in CLO
documentation. The US leveraged loan market is expecting default rates to rise modestly
over the next 12 months. While remaining well inside the long-term average of 3.2%, the
rate is forecasted to rise to 1.48% (excluding the EFH default), slightly wider of initial
estimates of 1.08%.
2. Credit Cards: US cards ABS delinquencies fell in June. Fitch’s 60+ day index fell to 1.09%
(76% below 2009 peak), whilst Excess spread stayed at a record high of 13.27%, which is
more than double the lifetime average of 6.51%. Chargeoffs fell to 3.07% in June and is 73%
below its lifetime high of 11.52%.
3. Ratings stability: S&P has outlined five of the top macroeconomic factors which are most
poignant to the credit stability of European ABS: These are GDP growth, unemployment,
house prices, bank equity returns and corporate credit risk premia. This is based off an
update to a 2012 report that correlated macroeconomic factors with European ABS rating
movements.
4. SLABS: Delinquencies remain low for private label SLABS according to Fitch. There was a
slight decrease in 90/120 day delinquencies with late pays declining to 0.76% in Q1 2014.

Global Market Regulations
1. ECB Asset Purchase Program: The ECB’s asset purchase program plan is in the intensive
preparatory stage with a decision expected soon on the framework. The European Banking
Association claimed at Global ABS in June that data suggests that securitizations are not
particularly liquid. The EBA is assessing the liquidity of securitizations to help the European
Commission determine the Liquidity Coverage Ratio that is to be met in 2018. The EBA is also
prepping a report on what qualifies for HQS for the regulators and ECB to focus on. However
this approach has puzzled some participants as lower capital weightings would automatically
attract investors into ABS and make it more liquid than it is currently, especially given the
fundamental performance of securitizations of recent times.
2. Basel / IOSCO Survey: The Basel Committee and IOSCO have rolled out a survey of global
securitization markets to obtain an assessment of market participants' views for completion by
25 July. Topics include factors that may be hindering the development of a robust securitization
market, those factors inhibiting the participation of real money investors, and the development
criteria to define and develop simple and transparent securitization structures.
3. Revised PCS criteria: The PCS has revised its criteria, notably, issuing labels to homogenous
pools only, a broader definition of ‘residential mortgages’, lead manager numbers, ratings
requirements remain at 2 ratings but relaxing the rating requirements.
