Conclusion • Reasons for lower demand for securitisation paper • Impacted by negative sentiment flowing from international market crisis • Liquidity is an issue! • Investors are less concerned about credit risk • Lower demand for credit assets (not only securitisation) • What will increase demand • Normalisation of international markets • Improvement in credit quality • Improve post issuance information and monitoring by rating agencies
Conclusion • Market sentiment • Preference to highly rated CMBS • Negative toward ABS (store cards & auto loans) • General concern regarding delinquency levels • Investors are comfortable with: • Structures (levels of credit enhancement) • Non-bank servicers • Pricing • Conduits • Mandates/inability to obtain approvals is NOT an issue but credit comm need to be educated
Next steps • Re-send survey with incentive to gain more insight? • Roadshow investors? • Roadshow credit committees/trustees?
