US CLO

Following the Columbus Day break yesterday there was a slow start to the week with 9 covers today – 3 x AAA, 3 x AA, 1 x A and 2 x BBB.  With 2 short dated AAAs (<3y WAL) the sole >4y WAL AAA was CIFC 2013-3RA A1 (CIFC AM) which covers at 99.03 / 118dm / 5.2y WAL, remember last week’s AAAs traded at ~115dm (ignoring an outlier trade) so this trade is slightly wide to that but compares to the 117dm levels seen the week before.  The double-As traded in a wide range, 165dm-204dm, with ICG 2014-1A A2R (ICG) cover 98.38 / 204dm / 5.35y WAL – analysing this tranche the MVOC is healthy 128.37 whilst at the deal level there are 108bps of defaults, hi-WARF 2929, hi-CCC 8.1% and hi-WAS 371bps (correlates to hi-WARF) so there are some weaknesses inherent in the deal accounting for the softer DM.  The single-A cover today was LCM 13A CR (LCM AM) which covers at 304dm / 5.85y WAL – this is at the wide end of single-As we have analysed this month (lo- MVOC 114.61, 48bps defaults, 325bps WAS and a v low int-div cushion of <2%) with only the end of last week the VOYA 2017-3A B trading in a 258dm-264dm / 6.4y WAL range whilst month to date single As traded in a M-MH 200s range.  The BBBs today traded in a 438dm-480dm range which is very much at the wides we have seen this month (as mentioned on Friday BBBs this month have traded in a wide 320dm-477dm range so the SNDPT 2019-1A D (Sound Point Cap) 480/8.4y WAL widens the range further (lo-MVOC 112, Snr OC cushion low 9.95%, lo-WAL test cushion, lo-int div cushion 3.46% and lo-Diversity 63) despite the accolades of the manager.

EUR/GBP ABS/RMBS

Today TWRBG 4 D (UK Non-conforming RMBS for Belmont Green – BBB rated) traded at 100.15 / 275dm / 3.18yr to step. STNLT 2017-1 D (UK NC for GMAC RFC et al – BBB rated) traded at 101.56 / 218dm / 2.41yr at 8cpr / step. SAPPO 2016-2 D (French Prime RMBS for GE Money – BBB rated) traded at 101.36 / 112dm / 1.2yr at 10cpr / step. ERLS 2018-1 A (Irish NPLs originated by Irish Nationwide – single A rated) traded at 100.02 / 100dm / 1.25yr to step up.

US CLO

A quieter end to the week with 13 covers today – 2 x AAA, 2 x AA, 2 x A and 7 x BBB.  The >4y WAL AAAs traded in a 126dm-130dm range today, furthermore this week has seen a lot more supply week on week (23m last week) in >4y WAL AAA US CLO with around $117m of supply of 1st pay AAA but dm’s on these widened 7bps on the week to 124dm, mainly due to a wide 158dm trade on ZAIS7 2017-2A A on Monday.  Ignoring this trade spreads tightened 2bps on the week to 115dm.  The AA trades today were 2 clips of OCT38 2018-1A A3A (Octagon) which traded at 185dm / 6.9y WAL, double-A BSL CLOs have traded in a 175dm-192dm range this month so today’s trade sits nicely in the middle of this range.  The single-A trades were two clips of VOYA 2017-3A B that traded at 260dm / 6.4y WAL, note Single-As have traded in a 252dm-290dm range so today’s trade is at the tighter end of the range.  The BBBs traded in a 389dm-428dm range today whilst month to date we have observed a range of 320dm-477dm for BBBs.  Although no BB trades today, we have observed 16bps compression in BB spreads down to 732dm across 32m of supply (vs 43m last week).  Please refer to your SCI Sales representative for further details.

EUR CLO

There are 6 x AAA CVRs and 1 x BB with disclosed prices today. The AAA spreads range from 122dm to 132dm. The tight end of the range is ALME 4X AR managed by Apollo and the wide end are HARVT 17X A (Investcorp) and DRYD 2017-56X ANV (PGIM). These spreads look like a further firming in AAA levels. On 8 Oct we saw a number of AAAs trade with spreads in the range 125dm to 141dm but the majority were around 137dm. The BB is AVOCA 14X ER which traded at 100.12 / 501dm. This bond traded at M90s / 601dm on 10 Oct. BB trades on 10 Oct were in the range 600dm to 670dm so this looks like an outlier. We’ll have to see if this level is maintained.

US CLO

A busy day with 23 covers, all IG rated – 16 x AAA, 2 x AA and 5 x A rated.  The vast majority of the AAAs were shorter dated, whilsy at the > 4y WAL end these traded in a 115dm-130dm range.  The MIDO 2014-3A A3A2 (MidOcean Credit Fund Management LP) covers at the wide end of this range at 98.35 / 132dm / 5.1y WAL, howeve note that the deal has relatively weaker performance with a hi-WARF 2943, hi-CCC 5%, lo-Snr OC cushion (8.2%), 53bps of defaults, 70 diversity (slightly below avg) and 3.6% sub 80 priced assets.  The double-As traded in a tight range 175dm-188dm which is at the tight end of recent AA trading that we have seen this week, the levels seen this week range from 178dm- 257dm given tiering between managers/vintages etc.  The 5 x single-As traded in a 253dm-290dm range versus this week we have seen covers in a 237dm-412dm whilst range, which again are due to tiering between managers over a 2 week horizon.

EUR/GBP ABS/RMBS

Lots of ABS trades today. DAOT 5 (Driver Australia 5 – auto loans originated by Volkswagen Australia) traded in Classes A and B.

EUR CLO

There are 13 EUR CLO Cvrs with disclosed prices today; 3 x BBB, 9 x BB and one equity. The BBBs traded between 346dm and 408dm. The tight end of the range is BECLO 5X D (BlackRock) which has a 6.71yr WAL. At the wide end is HNLY 1X D (Napier Park) with a 7.06yr WAL. These spreads are in line with yesterday’s trades. BBs have traded between 601dm and 674dm. The tight end is AVOCA 14X ER (KKR) for 6.43yr WAL and the wide end is OHECP 2017-6X E (Oak Hill) for a 6.65yr WAL. These spreads are also in line with trades earlier in Oct. In Sep BB levels could be said to be centered around 680dm to 700dm but with some dispersion from the mean. In equity ARMDA 2X SUB (Brigade Capital) traded at 80.08 / 16.27% yield according to our assumptions. Its NAV is 68. It has annualised equity payments of 17% to date. Its Junior OC cushion is 4.14%. The only distressed asset in the pool is Watson Midco (Dummen Orange) – Dutch, flowers valued at around 64.

US CLO

18 covers today – 11 x AAA, 1 x AA, 1 x A, 5 x BB.  The AAAs were predominantly shorter dated whilst the longer dated >4y WAL AAAs traded in a 128dm-133dm range, at the wide end was OZLM 2017-19A A1 (Sculptor) which covers at 99.50 / 133dm / 4.9y WAL – this is at the wides for BSL CLOs that we have seen recently, the deal has hi-CCC 7%, lo-Snr Sec 95.93% bal, hi-sub 80 priced assets 3.7% and the manager has a weak par build record -0.26 across all CLOs UM.  The double-A cover today was FSKMM 2019-1A A2 (FS KKR Capital Corp.) which covers at 98.56 / 280dm / 5.4y WAL, this is a Middle Market CLO which trade wider than BSL CLOs which have traded around 163dm-257dm range to put this into perspective.  The single-A trade is a recently closed Middle Market CLO  DIMND 2019-1A C (GSO) which covers at 97.61 / 412dm / 5.4y WAL, the majority of BSL CLOs over the past few weeks have traded in a 237dm-370dm range.  The double-Bs traded in a 730dm-847dm range, at the wide end of this BB range is OZLM 2018-22A D (Sculptor) that covers at 82 / 847dm / 8.4y WAL, this deal has hi-CCC 8%, lo-Snr Sec cushion 9%, lo-Snr Sec bal 96.42%, hi-sub 80 asset concentration 3.83% whilst the tranche has a lo-MVOC 104.43% compared to similar bonds.

EUR CLO

There are 9 EUR CLO Cvrs with disclosed prices; 4 x AA, 1 x A and 4 x BBB. The AAs traded between 199dm and 216dm. Two trades at 199dm were for approx. 5.2yr WAL and two trades around 216dm had around 6.5yr WAL. This looks to be a slight softening on yesterday’s trades which were predominantly around 190dm. The single A (ALME 2X CR) traded at 278dm / 5.41yr. Bearing in mind the short WAL of this trade this looks in line with yesterday’s trades. One of the BBBs (BABSE 2018-1X D) traded at 321dm / 6.49yr while the other three traded around 370dm. The Barings deal is performing well (WARF – 2887, WAS – 389bps, CCC bucket – 3.24%, zero defaults, junior OC cushion – 4.53%) but this is still only in line with the other bonds. There haven’t been any BBBs in BWICs recently so it is hard to form a judgment on any recent BBB spread moves.

US CLO

A full house today, with AAA down to Equity trading – 13 x AAA, 4 x AA, 3 x A, 1 x BBB, 10 x BB and 2 x EQ.  The >4y WAL AAAs traded in a 117dm-132dm range, at the wide end of this range is BATLN 2018-12A A1 (Brigade Capital) which covers at 132dm / 5.3 WAL, the MVOC 152.7% is sound and the deal performance is reasonable with only weakness being DIV 69 and Snr OC cushion 8% whilst the manager has a good track record.  The AAs traded in a 192dm-257dm range with the recently closed RRAM 2019-6A A2 (Apollo) covers at the tight end at par / 192dm / 5.85y WAL – this deal has good performance metrics and profile RP Apr 2022 and NC  Apr 2020.  The single-As traded in a tight 354dm-356dm range today whilst the sole BBB covers at 90.05 / 433dm / 7.9y WAL.  The BBs traded in a 717dm-799dm range plus one outlier OZLM 2018-22A D (Sculptor) covers at 82 / 863dm / 7.9y WAL – this outlier has a lo-MVOC 104.43% and MV Attach 104.43% whilst the deal carries 8% CCCs and 4% sub 80 priced assets.  There were 2 equity covers today, ALM 2012-7A SUB which covers at 40h has asset haircuts applied incl c.$1.8m of assets carried at near zero recovery / immediate default and the Acosta, Inc. Term Loan B (1st Lien) - 5.362% - Sep 2021 carried at immediate default / recovery of 34%, we ran a call to RP+3y and this yields 14.64% / 3.6y WAL.  The second equity was MDPK 2018-31A SUB (CSAM) covers at 73h and after modelling to  RP+2y and applied appropriate sub 90 priced asset level haircuts (no assets impaired immediately) this equates to a 16.75% yield / 4.44y WAL.

EUR ABS/RMBS

In ABS today STORM 2019-1 A (Dutch Prime RMBS originated by Obvion) traded at 102.20 / 13dm / 4.46yr at 7cpr / step up at the AAA level. STORM 2014-3 A2 is about to be called and traded at 100.04 / 15dm / 0.13yr at 10cpr / step up for what started as the junior AAA but is now the current pay. SAPPO 2016-3 A (Sapphire One – French Near Prime RMBS originated by GE Money Bank) traded at 100.63 / 26dm / 1.87yr for the AAA bond. GFUND 2016-1X A2A (Gosforth Funding – UK Prime RMBS originated by Virgin Money) traded at 100.30 / 42dm / 1.26yr at 25cpr / step up for a EUR AAA bond. GAPPL 2019-1 A (Green Apple – Dutch RMBS) traded at 101.73 / 21dm / 6.28yr at 5cpr / step up. CATSN 2 A (Cartesian – Dutch RMBS) traded at 100.25 / 44dm / 1.95yr at 5cpr / step up.

EUR CLO

21 EUR CLO trades today. 11 x AAA ranging from 125dm to 143dm apart from JUBIL 2015-15X AR (Alcentra) which traded at 84dm / 1.74yr. This is a very short WAL bond which has passed its Reinvestment End Date and should begin factoring down shortly. The next tightest bond is CGMSE 2015-2X AA1R (Carlyle) which is nearly as short and traded at 125dm / 1.87yr. All the other AAAs have WALs between 3 and 4 years. The widest trade is HARVT 11X AR (Investcorp) which traded at 143dm / 3.4yr. Last week AAAs traded between 135dm and 158dm so this part of the market has firmed. There are 5 x AA trades. One is much tighter than the others JUBIL 2015-15X BR at 141dm / 4.02yr but the other four are between 187dm and 195dm and in most cases have WALs around 5.4yrs. Last week we saw a couple of AA trades around 240dm but the week before that they were again between 180dm and 190dm which appears to make last week’s trades good value. There are 5 x single A trades ranging from 282dm to 304dm. Around 2 weeks ago we were seeing single A trades between 232dm and 247dm so this part of the market appears to have softened. The credit curve appears to have steepened as investors seek to position themselves defensively. The AAA to single A spread was around 95bps but now looks to be around 160bps. 

US CLO

A busy start to the week with 25 covers where we ran DMs – 10 x AAA, 1 x AA, 5 x A, 8 x BBB and 1 x BB rated.  The AAAs traded in a wider range today 113dm-158dm range, at the wide end of this range is ZAIS CLO 7, Limited Class A that covers at 98.80 / 158dm / 4.5y WAL – this tranche has a very low MVOC 148.54 whilst the deal has a hi-WARF 2904, hi-CCC balance 8.7%, low Snr OC cushion 9.33%, hi-Retail concentration 6.5% and >8% of the collateral priced under 80.  The AA rated Ares XLIX CLO Ltd. Class B covers at 178dm / 7.1y WAL which is at the wider end of comparable WAL AAs we have observed over the recent weeks.  The single-As traded in a 237dm-295dm range which is a wider range than we have seen recently (240dm-270dm) but nonetheless firmer at the tight end of the range with Apidos CLO XV CRR (CVC) with a healthy MVOC 117.94 and respectable deal performance.  The BBBs traded in a 339dm-477dm range with TICP CLO XII, Ltd. Class D (TPG Capital) one of the tightest 6y trades seen in a while and comparable with the ANCHC 2016-8A DR (Anchorage) which covered at 320dm / 5.9y WAL on 1st October.  The sole BB trade today was Regatta VII Funding Ltd. Class ER that covers at 92.80 / 637dm / 6.5y WAL, trading with a 6-handle is impressive as it is the tightest BB trade observed for the past 3 weeks and well tighter than the generic mid-700s observed for BBs last week – the tranche has a healthy MVOC 106.64 and a clean deal (CCC 2.9%, 0 defaults, 2% sub 80 priced assets, 84 DIV, Snr OC cushion 10%, Snr Sec >99%).

US CLO

A busy end to the week with 26 observed covers today right across the capital structure that SCI generated DMs on – 11 x AAAs, 3 x AA, 4 x A, 1 x BBB and 7 x BBs.  The >4yr WAL AAAs traded in a tight 115dm-118dm range, whilst we observed the overall AAA market (>4y WAL) tighten 4bps on the week to 117dm.  However this was based on a lower level of liquidity than last week ($23m vs $60m).  At the BB level, todays BBs traded in a 724dm-759dm range whilst there was an outlier OAKCL 2019-1A E (OakTree) which covered at 864dm / 9.2y WAL, this tranche has a lo-MVOC of 106.02 whilst the deal carries 6% CCC and almost 3% sub 80 priced assets and the manager has a weaker record than its peers (104bps annualised default rate v 55bps cohort / -0.09 par build / 10% annualised equity return v 15.3% cohort).  Overall this week we observed BB spreads tighten 8bps to 748dm based upon $43m of supply ($62m supply last week at 756dm).

The AAs today also traded in a tight 181dm-184dm range ($9.4m aggregate).  The single-As traded in a wider dispersion 251dm-337dm range, at the wide end of the range was a recently closed CAVU 2019-1A C1 (Trimaran Advisors) at 337dm / 8.2y – this manager is inexperienced with 2.4bn AUM across 5 CLOs and has a weaker annualised default rate 91bps than the cohort 55bps, the deal closed with a WARF of 3200.  Finally the only BBB of the day OZLMF 2013-3A CR (Sculptor Capital Management) covers at 99.74 / 431dm / 5.4y WAL which is at the wide end of BBBs we have observed over the past few weeks, this deal carries 6.7% CCC, 34bps defaults, -0.15 par build and 3.64% of sub 80 priced assets.

EUR CLO

16 EUR CLO trades today. 11 x AAA ranging from 127dm to 198dm. The majority have a 130 handle. The widest trade here is OZLME 4A A2 which traded at M100h / S+198 / 4.52yr but it is a small fixed rate class managed by Sculptor AM (formerly Och-Ziff). The widest of the floaters is HAYEM 1A A2 (Hayfin Emerald) which traded at 100a / 158dm / 4.57yr which is margined off un-floored Euribor. The deal is performing OK with a below average WARF of 2874, above average WAS of 387bps and below average CCC bucket of 0.75%. There are 2 x AA which traded at 233dm and 244dm (see PriceABS archive for details). These AA levels are quite a bit wider than we have recently. Most recent AA trades have been around 180dm to 195dm. At the BBB level we have GLME 2X D (Goldentree) at 99.78 / 326dm / 7.31yr and BABSE 2018-3X D (Barings) at 99.93 / 409dm / 7.4yr. These two trades neatly bifurcate recent traded levels which have been in the 350dm to 370dm range. The reason for this is not immediately obvious to us. They both have similar WALs and are both perfroming well and Barings’ deals normally trade well in secondary. There is one single B (TCLO 2X FR) managed by Chenavari. It traded at 90.00 / 970dm / 6.66yr. This is a bit wider than recent single B’s which have been in the 890dm to 920dm range more typically.

US CLO

Today we observed 17 covers – 7 x AAA, 2 x BBB and 8 x BBs accounting for $17.7m of trades in aggregate.  The AAAs were all short dated with WALs <4y with DMs ranging from 84dm-104dm.  It is rare to not see longer dated AAAs trade but note that these shorter daters were small clips with $1.8m of aggregate notionals trading.  The two BBBs have quite different profiles, one is short and the other is longer dated.  The short dater BBB is BOWPK 2014-1A D1R (GSO) with RP ended 2018 and covers at 100.32 / 328 dm / 4.7y WAL which is in line with recent comparable WAL BBB DMs.  The longer dater BBB is ATCLO 2019-14A D (Crescent Cap) with profile RP Jul 2024, NC Jul 2021 and covers at 450dm / 8.7y WAL which is wider than recent comparables – the manager is relatively inexperienced with a default record wide of the cohort (65bps v 55bps) and lower annualised EQ return (14.5% v 15.3% cohort) whilst this tranche itself has a MVOC of 151.24 which is lower than comparables whilst the deal performance itself doesn’t carry any signs of stress at present given it’s only 4 months since close.  The 8 x BBs traded in a 708dm-821dm range, at the tighter end was NEUB 2017-26A E (Neuberger Berman) with profile RP Oct 2022 / NC Oct 2019 which covers at 711dm / 7.7y WAL in 1m size which is in the middle of the range of BB DMs observed this week.  At the wide end of BBs is BSP 2015-VIA DR (Benefit St) with profile RP Jul 2021 / NC Oct 2019 which covers at 821dm / 6.4y WAL in 1.5m size, the deal carries 13bps of defaults, 6.45% CCCs, WARF 2896, par build +0.23, diversity 90 with tranche MVOC 152.81 which is fairly comparable to similar deals and only a high sub 80 priced asset concentration of 4%, hi-CCC (as mentioned) and a weaker annualised EQ performance (13.15% v 15.3% cohort) of the manager to point to as clear weaknesses.

EUR ABS/RMBS

In ABS today PEPAU 18X A2 (AUD Non-conforming RMBS – Pepper Homeloans) has traded at the AAA level at 182dm / 1.73yr at 25cpr/optional redemption date. For reference the AA traded at 244dm a couple of days ago. TWRBG 1 D (Tower Bridge – UK Non-conforming originated by Belmont Green) traded at the BBB level at 236dm / 1.21yr at 17cpr / step up. RMS 30 D (UK NC for Kensington Mtges / Money Partners) traded at BBB level at 205dm / 1.96yr at 6cpr / step up. FSQ 2019-1 C (Finsbury Square) is an RMBS originated by Kensington. We haven’t looked at the collateral in detail but the pricing levels imply a NC deal, whereas in some places it is described as Prime. Perhaps it is more of a near prime or Alt-A type deal. It traded at 187dm / 2.45yr at 6cpr / step up for a single A rating.

EUR CLO

A bunch of CLOs today across different rating categories. In the AA category there is a trade at 184dm / 5.99yr (CGMSE 2014-1X B1R) and at 206dm / 5.29yr (SPAUL 7X B1R). At the single A level trades ranged between 238dm and 254dm. At the BBB level the tightest level is HARVT 9X DRE at 343dm / 5.92yr while the other 2 x BBB are around 370dm. One of these wider trades is OHECP 2018-7X D (Oak Hill) but this is a Baa3 and it is 1yr longer. A single B (AVOCA 14X FR) traded at 900dm / 6.77yr.

US CLO

An active day with 24 covers across most rating levels – 10 x AAA, 5 x A, 6 x BBB and 3 x BB.  The >4y WAL AAAs traded in a tight 114dm-122dm range whilst there was one outlier BRIST 2016-1A A (GSO) covers at 140dm / 4.2y WAL (explained by low MVOC 149.56, low AP 34.94%, 4% hi-CCC, 97.06% lo-Snr Sec balance and 25bps defaults / -0.08 par build).  The single-As traded in a 252dm-295dm range, a touch softer than recent comparable DMs we have generated that are in a 240dm-270dm range.  The BBBs traded in a 365dm-429dm range which are also softer than recent comparable DMs, at the wide end today is AWPT 2016-5A DR (ArrowMark) covers 95 / 429dm / 8.77 WAL – this deal has weaker performance (hi-CCC 8%, hi-sub 80-priced asset exp 4.2%, lo-MVOC 149.33).  The BBs today traded in a  tight range 707dm-772dm which is in line with recent BB DMs albeit not seeing a 6-handle today which we have generated across 10 x BBs over the past week.  Note that we observed $94m exchanging hands yesterday (incl $15m EQ) in covers that we generated DMs on debt and Yields on EQ over 20 deals and $36m over 23 deals today to help put into perspective the ticket sizes day on day.

EUR CLO

10 EUR CLOs today with disclosed prices; 5 x BB and 5 x single B. The BBs traded in a range from 634dm to 670dm. At the tight end of the range is OCPE 2019-3X E (Onex Credit Partners) which traded at 634dm / 6.11yr which has the shortest WAL with a Reinvestment End Date of only Apr 2021. The wide end of the range is BNPAM 2019-1X E at 670dm / 8.42yr which has the longest WAL and a Reinvest End Date of Jan 2024. These levels are a slight tightening because although recent BBs have been around 670dm, just prior to that many of them were around 700dm. The single Bs traded in a range from 878dm to 955dm. The tight end is AVOCA 14X FR (KKR) which traded at 878dm / 6.77yr and the wide end is DRYD 2017-56X F (PGIM) at 955dm / 7.01yr. These levels are within the range single Bs have been in since the beginning of Sep.

US CLO

20 covers today – 15 x AAA, 1 x BBB, 1 x BB and 3 x Equity.  The >4y WAL AAAs traded in a 117dm-125dm range which is in line with spreads observed last week (~120dm).  CEDF 2017-8A A1 (Aegon USA IM) covers at 125dm / 4.75y WAL which is at the wide end of this range, however performance is not materially poor with only the WARF high at 2909 and WAS low at 332bps whilst the tranche MVOC is healthy at 157.49%.  The BBB rated ANCHC 2016-8A DR (Anchorage) covers at 320dm / 5.9y WAL which is at the tight end of similar WAL BBBs we have priced up over the past few weeks.  This deal is not immune from performance concerns – WARF 3308, CCCs 4%, defaults 1.23% and Snr OC cushion of 9.43% but the tranche mechanics hold up well (MVOC 156.70%, AP 37.7%) hence pricing at the tight end.  The double-B CIFC 2018-3X E (CIFC) covers at 686dm / 8.9y WAL which again prices at the tight end of similar WAL BBs we have observed over the past 2 weeks and inside the BB generic spreads ~756dm as mentioned as at the end of last week.  There were 3 equity covers from Octagon Credit Investors, which is a highly experienced manager with 14bn of US CLOs under management across 25 CLOs with an excellent track record (defaults 30bps v 55bps cohort and annualised EQ return 17.7% v 15.3% cohort).  The equity are from OCT 32, OCT 35 and OCT 37 trading in a tight yield range of 7.2% to 9.5% where we have applied proprietary asset level haircuts (def timing, recovery lag and severity) for sub 90 priced assets, proprietary reinvestment/post RP assumptions and modelled to a reinvestment end +2y call assumption.

EUR ABS/RMBS

In ABS today we have TPMF 2019-GR4X C (Towd Point Granite 4). Prime UK mtges - loans were originated by Northern Rock which became Landmark Mortgages. The loans were then bought by Cerberus. Class C, rated A+, has widened slightly to 99.92 / 224dm / 4.55yr at 15cpr / step up call date. TOGET 1 C (Together – UK Non-conforming from Together Finance) traded at 100.49 / 175dm / 1.95yr at 5cpr / step up date for the single A rated tranche. DPF 2017-1 D (Dutch BTL – originated by Vesting Finance) traded at 101.29 / 167dm / 2.83yr at 10cpr / step up for a split rated A-/BBB. AUD bond PEPAU 18X B (Pepper Australia - AUD non conforming RMBS) traded at 101.38 / 244dm / 4.68yr to the step up for an original AA.

EUR CLO

Only 2 EUR CLOs today. The BB is GLME 2X E (Goldentree) which covered at 665dm / 7.89yr which is at the tight end of recent trades. MRLPK 1X SUB (Marlay Park – GSO Blackstone) covered at 77.36 / 15.87% / 4.28yr. It’s NAV is 62. Distressed assets, which we have accounted for, include are a loan from SGB-SMIT (German co dealing in Capital Equipment esp transformers) at 63, Haya (Spanish co in Real Estate Management) at 83 and Iceland (UK, Retail) at 85. It attaches at (4)% and detaches at 6.4%. This fits in with a typical EUR risk adjusted equity yield of between 13% to 16%.

US CLO

A quiet start to the week with 2 covers today whilst a busier day lies ahead tomorrow with 6 US CLO lists readying as it stands.  Today a triple-B MP12 2018-1A D (Marble Point) covers at 415dm / 8.9y WAL, this is a long dated bond given the 7y RP (at close May 2018) and the dm is reflective of the longest BBB WAL we have seen this month.  As we mentioned on Friday, BBs tightened in to ~756dm last week and that same theme continues today with the only BB of the day BSP 2016-10X DR (Benefit St Partners) covers at 97 / 731dm / 5.9y WAL – profile is 15m RP and 13m NC and good fundamental deal performance (WARF 2839, CCC 2%, Snr OC 10.34%, diversity 90) and tranche MVOC 105.73 which is slightly above average for its cohort.

US CLO

The busiest day post summer today with 53 covers – 34 x AAA, 1 x single-A, 4 x BBB and 14 x BB rated.  The >4y WAL AAAs traded in a 109dm-132dm range whilst there was a Middle Market CLO MRNON 2018-1A A1 that covered at 99.09 / 171dm / 4.15y WAL (typically MML CLOs trade wider than BSL CLOs).  At the wide end of the BSL CLO range was GOCAP 2015-22A AR (Golub Capital) which comes from a manager that is experienced in MML CLOs and has also issued BSL CLOs, the transaction has a high WARF 3009, Diversity of 74 whilst other deal and tranche metrics don’t appear weak (eg. tranche MVOC is 151.78 and CCCs 2.04% with 0 defaults).  At the tight end of the AAAs is MAGNE 2014-8A AR2 (Blackrock) covering at 109dm / 4.5y WAL, this deal has a WARF of 2794, 2.6% CCC, 0 defaults and SNr OC and WAL cushions above average.  This week we have seen a slight tightening tone with >4y WAL AAAs trading 1bp tighter at 120dm (vs 121dm last week) but note a lower level of supply at this level ($34.8m).

The single-A APID 2013-16A CR (CVC) covered at 293dm / 3.1y WAL which is wider than longer WAL single-As we have seen this month.  This deal is post RP and deleveraging fast but carries 72bps of defaults, CCCs 5.2% and a low diversity of 52 given much of the collateral has redeemed.  The BBBs traded in a 330dm-352dm range which has certainly been at the tighter end of BBB trading we have observed this month.  With regards to the more liquid ‘BB’ end of the mezzanine space today’s trades were in a 711dm-865dm range.  A longer dated ATCLO 2018-12A E (Crescent Cap) traded at 865dm / 9.2y (covers 84), this deal has relatively sound deal performance metrics but at the tranche level the MVOC is 104.86 / AP is 7.8% which are both in the 20th percentile versus peer bonds, whilst the manager is relatively inexperienced (3.6bn AUM / 8 CLOs) their metrics don’t point to any signs of significant weakness (eg. default record 65bps v 55bps cohort).  This week we have observed 30bp tightening in BBs to 756dm versus last week with today’s trades certainly at the tight end of the week’s performance, however we observed more than double the supply of BBs so the fact that the market had to absorb less supply of BBs this week must be taken into context.

EUR CLO

Two AAA trades today. Both at very tight spreads but that is because they are very short. JUBIL 2015-15X AR (Alcentra) traded at 100.01 / 84dm / 1.76yr and it has passed it Reinvestment End Date in July 2019. BABSE 2015-1X A1R (Barings) traded at 100.00 / 82dm / 1.99yr and its Reinvestment End Date ends in Oct 2019. Having said that we did see PENTA 2015-2A AR trade at 100.07 / 126dm / 1.68yr on 24 Sep and this is also a AAA. CRKST 1A (Guggenheim) fixed rate bonds traded at S+400 for single A, S+493 for BBB and S+658 for BB. Some of these are quite wide levels but then they are not the normal floating rate bonds. For comparison single A floaters are more in the 240dm to 250dm range, BBBs are 340dm to 370dm and BBs are 700dm to 800dm.

US CLO

Multiple lists today contributed 50 covers with the DMs/Yields summary as follows – 17 x AAA, 11 x A, 7 x BBB, 14 x BB and 1 x Equity.  The AAAs traded in a 110dm-126dm range for >4y WAL (vs the narrow 116dm-122dm range yesterday) with >$100m exchanging hands, the market continues to absorb liquidity at tightening levels.  Recently single-As haven’t featured on lists as much, but today a rich list of single-As traded in a narrow 240dm-271dm range with no outliers to note, the prior week saw single-As trade in a ~265dm context as a guide.  BBBs today traded in a 293dm-403dm range, with an interesting trading observation: ANCHC 2015-7A DR (Anchorage Cap) 293dm / 5.1y WAL was at the tight end (WARF 3218, CCCs approaching 10% and WAL test failing) whilst ALM 2013-7RA CR (Apollo) traded wider at 403dm / 5.9y WAL (WARF 2847, 6.6% CCC), both tranches have similar attachment points and MVOC too whilst the Anchorage deal has 2% sub 80 priced assets v 1.5% for the Apollo.  Apollo manages $10bn across 15 CLOs whilst Anchorage manages $8bn across 16 CLOs, interestingly Anchorage’s overral default record of 86bps (v 54bps cohort) is worse than Apollo’s at 47bps whilst Apollo is weaker on par build -0.03 v Anchorage +0.43, whilst Apollo is more equity friendly than Anchorage (20% annualised EQ return v 16.6%), despite all this the Anchorage bond traded tighter nonetheless, perhaps to very specific demand.  There was a $6.5m equity tranche DRSLF 2016-45A SUB (PGIM) that covered at 57.58 which SCI calculated is equivalent to 9.41% yield / 4.5y WAL - we ran this to a call assumption of RP +2y (since no immediate flight path to refi possible and NC 13m), asset level haircuts capturing sub 90 priced collateral including 3 distressed loans (Deluxe Entertainment, Acosta Inc and ASP MCS) all ~$1m face carried at 18m REC lag of current MV of 15%, 34% and 34% respectively.  The NAV on the equity tranche is 42.2 and profile is NC Oct 2020 + 3y remaining RP, thus hinting the market is not willing to pay significantly more than 1y CF on top of NAV, which is ultimately to the NC date.

US CLO

First full day back since ABS East saw 18 covers which were mostly high grade – 15 x AAA and 3 x BB rated.  The ABS East conference saw a big increase in attendees and the expectation is for a heavy new issue pipeline in Q4 this year which may stress the ability of the market to absorb supply despite the positive tone seen at present.  The >4y WAL AAAs traded in a fairly narrow 116dm-122dm range which represents a tightening tone versus ~121dm levels we saw the in the week leading up to ABS East.  There were 3 outliers amongst the AAA covers today, they were shorter dated AAAs with RP of ~late 2020/2021 covering close to par: (1) APEXC 2017-1A A1 (Apex Credit) 147dm / 3.8y WAL (WARF 2981, CCC 5.4%, Oil & Gas 5.2%, Retail 6.04%, WAL cushion 17.6%); (2) TCW 2019-1A A (TCW) 149dm / 3.4y WAL (performance rather mediocre, not particularly below average but manager is very inexperienced and weaker stats versus peers eg. par build -0.32 / Annualised EQ return 11.74% vs cohort 15%); (3) ZAIS5 2016-2A A1 (Zais) 154dm / 2.9y WAL (similar profile to APEXC 2017-1A A1 – WARF 2965, CCC 7.7%, Oil & Gas 4%, Retail 7.9%, WAL cushion 3.3%).  The BBs traded in a 691dm – 787dm range which also is firmer than levels seen last week at this rating level (~790dm on average), the clips were 1-3.5m in size.  At the tight end was PAIA 2018-1A D (Park Avenue IA) 691dm / 8.77 WAL, this tranche benefits from a MVOC 107.6% which is higher than average for BBs whilst the deal performance is sound (WARF 2768, par build +0.25, 2% CCC, 0 defaults, healthy Snr OC cushion 10.4%, Snr Sec 97.9%).  At the wide end of today’s BBs was OZLM 2017-19A D (Sculptor Capital) 787dm / 7.9y WAL with tranche MVOC 105.5% (slightly below average for BBs) whilst the deal performance is weaker than the PAIA 2018-1A D (WARF 2848, par build +0.01, 6.9% CCC, hi-Retail 4.4% and Snr Sec 95.9%).

EUR CLO

Just one AA EUR CLO today. CORDA 5X B1R (CVC Cordatus) traded at 100.13 / 194dm / 5.18yr. This was refi’d back in Jul 2017. It reinvests until Jul 2021.

EUR CLO

There are 13 EUR CLOs with disclosed prices; 5 x AAA, 2 x AA, 3 x A & 3 x BBB. The AAAs mostly traded in a 118dm to 126dm range although ELMP 1A A1R (Elm Park – GSO Blackstone) traded at 112dm for a 2.36yr and GLGE 2A A1R (GLG – Man Group) traded at 135dm / 3.08yr. For context, on 20 Sep we had 3  x AAA trades with a 130 handle and at the beginning of Sep we had trades from 120dm to 150dm, thus the AAA level looks to have firmed based on this evidence. The 2 x AA traded around 180dm to 190dm (see PriceABS for details). This is in line with AA trades from earlier this week but at the beginning of Sep the AA levels were more like 200dm to 230dm. The single As today are between 232dm to 247dm. This compares with levels from 260dm to 290dm earlier in the month. Of the 3 x BBB trades ELMP 1X CR (Elm Park – GSO Blackstone) traded at 301dm. It is about 1yr shorter in WAL than the other two with a Reinvestment Period end date of Apr 2020. The other 2 x BBB traded between about 350dm to 370dm. This is in line with levels of last week but tighter than the beginning of Sep which all had a 4handle.

EUR ABS/RMBS

A few ABS trades today. VCL 28 A (German autos – Volkswagon) traded at 100.45 / 13dm / 1.06yr / 2cpr for a AAA bond. STORM 2017-1 A (Dutch prime RMBS – Obvion, subsid of Rabobank) traded at 101.12 / 13dm / 2.33yr / step up / 8cpr at a AAA level. SAPPA 2017-1 A (French autos originated ultimately by My Money Bank) traded at 100.09 / 11dm / 0.23yr for the AAA bond. RNBLG 2 A (Red & Black – German autos – originated by ALD Autoleasing (manufacturer independent)) traded at 100.03 / 54dm / 1.71yr according to our calculations. DOLPH 2014-3 A (Dutch prime RMBS mastertrust – multi originator) which traded at 100.01. It is just about to be called so is very sensitive to this for its DM calculation. CAR 2018-F1V A (French autos) traded at 100.38 / 25dm / 1.27 / 14cpr for the AAA bond.

EUR CLO

There were 5 x AA CLOs with disclosed prices. They all traded in quite a tight grouping from 182dm to 193dm with Investcorp at the tight end and CSAM at the wide end. These trades give a clear indication of current traded levels for EUR AA’s.

US CLO

A strong end to the week with 31 covers today, we generated DMs on 17 x AAA, 4 x AA, 1 x BBB and 9 x BBs.  The AAAs >4y WAL traded in a 114dm-130dm range, we saw tightening at this rating level this week to 121dm versus 129dm last week with longer WALs (7.2y v 4.6y) and double the supply $178m versus $89m last week at this rating level.  The double-As traded in a 163dm-216dm range with VENTR 2018-35A BL (MJX AM) at the tight end 163dm/7.4y WAL (Profile  RP 2023, NC Oct 2020, MVOC 132%, par build +2.45, 108 div) and NBCLO 2016-1A A2 (PGIM) at the wide end 216dm/5.4y WAL (Profile RP Jan 2022, NC passed, MVOC 128%, par build +0.19, 89 div).  The BBB CGMS 2012-3A CR2 (Carlyle) 438dm/8.7y WAL which is at the wide end of other comparable BBBs, Carlyle’s track record is weaker than its peers in terms of default and par build record for example.  The BBs traded in a 689dm-817dm range, we saw a softening theme at this rating level this week to 790dm versus 635dm last week.  Note that last week there was only $19.5m of supply of BBs versus $101m of supply of BBs this week, whilst the market has absorbed this spreads have drifted as a result and we did see some highly distressed BBs this week with DMs on 3 of these north of 900dm as calculated by SCI.

EUR CLO

3 x AAA and 1 x AA today. The AAAs ranged from 130dm to 139dm (over unfloored Euribor). 130dm is TIKEH 4X A1 (Tikehau) which is a 4.7yr WAL, 2018 vintage, Reinvestment End Date Jan 2023. 132dm is BLACK 2017-2X A1NE (Black Diamond) which is 3.6yr WAL, 2017 vintage, RP end date Jan 2022. 139dm is AQUE 2019-4X AE (HPS) which is 5.5yr WAL, 2019 vintage, RP end date Jan 2024. The AA is CGMSE 2016-1X A2A (Carlyle) which traded at 99.52 / 178dm / 6.1yr WAL. It was refi’d in 2018, RP end date 2022.

US CLO

Another active day as we modelled 23 covers to DMs including 5 x AAA, 1 x AA, 1 x BBB and 17 x BBs.  Of the AAAs three are shorter daters and two with > 4y WAL trading in a 118dm-129dm range.  See how these compare:

• VENTR 2017-28X A2 (MJX) at 129dm/4.6y WAL:                      MVOC 151.1%, CCC 4.5%, defaults 108bps, par build -0.06 and 3.3% of sub 80 assets
• MAGNE 2015-14RA A1 (Blackrock)  at 118dm/5.7y WAL:      MVOC 151.9%, CCC 3.0%, defaults     0bps, par build +0.34 and 1.2% of sub 80 assets

The AA trade was MVEW 2017-1X B (Seix IA) covers at 99.50 195dm/5.7y WAL which is at the wider end of the AAs we have seen this month (range this month of 167dm-197dm) with it’s MVOC 128.17 below average and is very comparable to VENTR 2017-26A B that covered yesterday at our levels 197dm/5.4y WAL.  The BBB trade was CGMS 2012-3A CR2 (Carlyle) covers 94.04 438dm/8.7y WAL which is also at the wide end of BBB DMs we have calculated this month, it’s MVOC 109.26% is well below average and the transaction is suffering from some under performance, eg. par build -1.8, CCC 4.9%, 3.7% of sub 80 assets and 55bps of defaults, the manager also trades wider than peers.  As we have seen, BBs are not in short supply and trade in a wide range, today they traded in a 692dm-830dm range.  Let’s compare both ends of the range:

• APID 2013-12A ER (CVC) at 692dm / 8.5y WAL:                  MVOC 105.4%, CCC 2.7%, sub 80 assets 1.4%, par build +0.49, diversity 90, defaults 0
• SNDPT 2013-1A B2R (Sound Point) at 830dm/8y WAL:     MVOC 105.8%, CCC 2.4%, sub 80 assets 1.9%, par build +0.16, diversity 71, defaults 36bps

Whilst the manager statistics appear similar (both also 2013 vintage refi’d 2018) very subtle differences here in performance appear to cause a higher level of tiering at this end of the capital structure.  We have observed BB DMs post summer were 735dm context (8.2y WAL avg) as of week ending 6th Sept whilst 635dm context week ending 13th Sept (albeit 6.2y WAL).  This week we have seen longer WALs and a little softening of levels at this end of the capital structure.

EUR ABS/RMBS

A lot of ABS/RMBS trades today. YOUNI 2019-1 F (Younited – French consumer loans) is single B rated and traded at 100.87 / 331dm / 3.02yr / 8cpr. NORIA 2018-1 (BNP Paribas Personal Finance – French consumer loans) traded in Class E (Ba2 rated) at 210dm / 1.44yr / 10cpr & Class F (B3 rated) at 325dm / 1.44yr / 10cpr. STORM 2019-1 A (Obvion – Dutch prime – AAA rated) traded at 102.14 / 14dm / 4.51yr / 5cpr / step up. STORM 2019-GRN A (Obvion – Dutch prime) traded at 102.24 / 13dm / 4.68yr / 2cpr / step up for the AAA. HLFCT 2018-1 A (Multi-originator, French Prime RMBS – AAA rated) traded at 100.92 / 18dm / 2.76yr / 10cpr / step up. GLDR 2017-A B (FCE – German autos) which is AA rated traded at 99.96 / 60dm / 2.42yr / 10cpr. AUTOF 1 A (Italian auto – AAA rated) traded at 100.54 / 57dm / 2.79yr for a AAA. FSTNT 13 traded in Class C (A1 rated) and Class D (Baa3 rated). This is a prime Irish RMBS originated by Permanent TSB. Class C traded at 99.69 / 3.08yr / 0cpr / step up and Class D at 174dm / 3.08yr / 0cpr / step up. DUBS 2018-1X C (Irish non-conforming RMBS – loans originated by Erimon Home Loans (subsid of BoS) and then sold to Pepper Ireland) traded at 99.20 / 164dm / 2.53yr / 3cpr / step up for the A1 rated tranche. DPF 2017-1 B (Dutch BTL originated by Vesting Finance) traded at 106dm / 3.25yr / 10cpr / step up for the AA tranche. DILSK 1 C (Irish non-conforming RMBS – loans originated by ICS Building Society through broker channels (owned by Bank of Ireland)) traded at 100.70 / 111dm / 0.92yr / 8cpr / step up for the single A. BLCRD 2018-1 B (AA rated credit cards) traded at 100.06 / 54dm / 1.52yr / step up. AURUS 2017-1 C (Dutch consumer loans) traded at 100.38 / 69dm / 0.89yr / step up for a single A.

EUR CLO

8 trades that we could back out DMs on. View the archive to see the detail but the summary is that a AA from Oak Hill traded at 208dm which is in line with recent spreads. BBBs traded mostly in the 330’s with the exception of HARVT 16X DRE (Investcorp) at 374dm and BABSE 2018-3X D (Barings) at 400dm. Both of these bonds are Baa3 whereas the others are Baa2 and they also have longer Reinvestment End Dates (2023) and hence WALs. These are tighter levels than the couple of BBB trades we saw earlier in Sep. The BB- from Chenavari (TCLO 6X E) traded at 719dm / 8.35yr which is, on average, somewhat wider than other trades earlier in Sep, albeit they were mostly Ba2.

US CLO

Today was the busiest day post summer with us generating 43 DMs off recorded covers right across the capital structure – 6 x AAA, 8 x AA, 3 x A, 9 x BBB, 16 x BB and 1 x B rated.  The AAAs continued their firmer tone trading in a 115dm-119dm range for >4y WAL whilst the shorter dated AAAs traded in a 76dm-102dm range for WALs 1y to 3y.  The AAs traded in a 172dm-197dm range which is in line / touch tighter to comparable trades this month.  The As traded in a 255dm-260dm range for >5y WALs, this month we have not seen many single-As but certainly tighter than single-A DMs from last month.  The BBBs traded in a 344dm-408dm range with all bar one as a 3-handle, which again is at the tight end of comparable trades this month.  The single-Bs traded in a 711dm-1035dm range with a range of profiles on show today accounting for the tiering, The one single-B was a thin second loss tranche MIDO 2014-3A FR (MidOcean Credit) covered at 79 / 1299dm / 9.2y WAL with profile NC Apr 2020, RP Apr 2023, a low MVOC 101% and the transaction itself mediocre in performance with par build -0.59, defaults 53bps and low diversity 69 but all quality tests passing.  Please contact your SCI representative for full details of today’s trades complete with DMs, WALs and further color.

EUR CLO

One AA and 3 equity trades with disclosed prices today. The AA is BABSE 2014-2X B1R which traded at 99.65 / 189dm / 5yr. For reference we saw BABSE 2014-1X B1RR trade at 99.70 / 202dm / 5.66yr on 9 Sep, so bearing in mind the slightly shorter WAL of today’s bond this suggests that AA levels have not moved much. Of the 3 equity trades the widest was OHECP 2015-4X SUB (Oak Hill) which traded at 18.73% on a risk adjusted basis. This deal has €1m of New Look which has defaulted and is expected to have close to zero recovery. Of the three equity trades this bond has the lowest MV Attachment (-7.1%) and Detachment point  (4.9%) and lowest NAV (41). The next highest yield is SPAUL 5X SUBR  (ICG) which is 15.08% (Reinvest End Date is shortest at Aug 2021) and finally BECLO 1X SUB (Blackrock) traded at 13.08%.

We saw 20 covers today and ran DMs on 9 x AAA, 2 x AA, 8 x BB and 1 x B rated.  >4y WAL AAAs last week traded around 129dm, this profile was scarce today with only one notable comp VIBR 2015-3A A1RR (DFG) covering 99.52 / 134dm / 5.7y WAL which is testament to a high concentration of sub 80 priced assets 7.2% (MVOC 148.8%).  The remainder of AAAs today were short daters <4y WAL (RPs 2018-2020) trading in a 79dm-115dm range.  Furthermore there was an outlier today OZLM 2016-15A A1 (Sculptor Capital Management) which covers at 100.13 in 1.67m at 145dm/3.1y WAL (profile NC passed, RP Jan 2021) but with the tranche spread at +149 there is a pathway to a refi/reset despite the market not entirely pricing this in at this stage whilst only the min floating spread test failing at 3.42 v 3.5 trigger.  The AAs traded in a 185dm-218dm range today, at the tight end of this range was BLUEM 2018-3A B (BlueMountain) which covers at 99.50 / 185dm / 7.2y which is in line with BLUEM 2014-2A BR2 we saw a week back at 184dm/7.2y and GALXY 2015-19A A2R at 183dm/6.2y.  The >5y WAL BBs traded in a 714dm-840dm range equivalent to 811dm which is a softer tone than compared to 715dm and 735dm for the past 2 weeks.  There was a highly distressed second loss B- rated MHAWK 2013-2A E (Western Asset) which covers at 67.00 / 1469dm/4.9y WAL which we ran to maturity, this deal has 8.45% CCCs, 1.5% defaults, WARF 3081, MVOC 97.4%, -0.65 par build and a number of quality tests are failing to put this into perspective.
