Issued notes structures

A master trust allows an RMBS issuer to establish a sizeable securitisation programme, even with many series of notes secured through multiple SPVs, at a dramatically lower cost than through traditional separate securitisations. The ability to issue notes with a variety of maturities and redemption profiles allows the issuer to expand the available investor base and to tap into specific demand in the market. However, this process does rely on economies of scale and so is probably not the ideal form of securitisation for a smaller lender. Also, the requirement to maintain a minimum seller s share in the trust would make this type of structure less suitable than others for lenders wishing to securitise 100% of their balance sheet. 

The structure is achieved by XYZ effectively buying 5-year caps struck at 4.50% on five times the notional principal of the note issued. Eor example, if XYZ issued notes with a face value of 10 million, it would effectively buy interest rate caps from investors with a notional principal of 50 million. The up-front premium of 19 bp in this example, therefore, becomes geared up to 95 bp, equivalent to 20 bp p.a. This enables the investor to receive their enhanced coupon, but the geared payment from the caps sold means that investors return diminishes rapidly in any period where EURIBOR sets above 4.50%. 

Issued Notes can have a variety of different structures. 

Notes issued in synthetic structures are organized by tranche. With the proceeds from the notes it issues to investors, the SPV purchases high-quality (AAA) liquid securities—for example, U.S. Treasuries, bank asset-backed paper such as credit card ABS, and German bonds, such as Pfandbriefe —to serve as collateral. This collateral will generate LIBOR-related interest and principal cash flows that the SPV passes on to the investors together with the swap premium, which creates an additional credit spread on the notes. The cash flows from the collateral may not match the payments due on the issued notes—for example, the bonds used as collateral may pay a flxed rate and the issued notes a floating one. To remedy this, the... 

The process of structuring a securitization deal ensures that the liability side of the SPV—the issued notes—carries lower cost than the asset side of the SPV. This enables the originator to secure lower cost funding that it would not otherwise be able to obtain in the unsecured market. This is a tremendous benefit for institutions with lower credit ratings... 

As illustrated in Figure 15.1, in a securitization the issued notes are structured to reflect specified risk areas of the asset pool, and thus are rated differently. The senior tranche is usually rated AAA. The lower-rated notes usually have an element of overcollateralization and are thus capable of absorbing losses. The most junior note is the lowest rated or nonrated. It is often referred to as th.t first-loss piece, because it is impacted by losses in the underlying asset pool first. The first-loss piece is sometimes called the equity piece or equity note (even though it is a bond) and is usually held by the originator. 

Based on the findings of the ratings agency, the arranger may redesign some aspect of the deal structure so that the issued notes are rated at the required level. 

As noted before, short focal ratios imply severe difficulties in generating the aspherical departure from an ideal sphere. It is, however, directly related to the telescope length, hence to the structure and building sizes, which are major cost positions and performance issues in a telescope project -cost of large structures and buildings, improbable thermal equilibrium hence local turbulence, misalignments and flexures, etc. 

In addition to the challenges cited above, there are some special issues associated with steroid chemistry that should be noted. The steroidal impurities formed in the process are generally similar in structure to the desired product and, in some cases, co-crystallization with the product is a problem. It is, therefore, critical to limit the formation of steroidal impurities in the reactions. The structural similarity between product and impurities also creates challenges in developing assays for reaction monitoring and purity determination. Furthermore, the poor solubility of these compounds in the solvents typically used in a manufacturing process makes it very difficult to achieve practical volume productivity in process development. 

In the NO-SCR by NH3, we note the highest reduction activity and selectivity on catalyst containing both vanadium and molybdenum than catalysts issued containing Mo or V, only. Furthermore, it should be underlined that a higher efficiency is obtained with ZSM-5 as host structure than samples issued from USY and MOR. Where a higher loss of porous volume were observed. On the basis of characterization data it has been suggested that the observed synergism in the SCR reaction is related to the existence of electronic interaction between the V and Mo species. In particular, it has been proposed that the presence of such electronic interactions modifies the catalysts redox properties, which have been claimed an essential property in the NO-SCR by NH3 reaction.
