European ABS Pricing and Sectors
Since the handling of the Italian and Cyprus crises there has been very little volatility in the European ABS market. April saw spreads tightening across all European ABS sectors. Our curves for the most liquid sectors are currently priced at the below levels:

However, there are some serious concerns within the regions economy. Auto-manufacturers, retail and supermarket chains have all displayed poor sales results within Europe with unemployment/inflation still rising. There have been substantial injections of liquidity from major central banks. The most recent injection came from the Bank of Japan, and was aimed at helping the financial and housing markets to de-correlate their results from the economy. Eurostat has recently started publishing a quarterly analysis of the European housing market, starting from January 2010. It is evident that Spain, Ireland and Italy are clearly well below 100. This months highest performers include the UK and Belgium. Overall France remains the best performing country, as it has been for the past two years. The house price index levels for the Netherlands have remained below 100 for more than a year now, despite the Dutch RMBS sector being the second tightest RMBS after the UK Prime RMBS.

The price matrix for Granite securities and especially the A tranche based on currency and rating will be limited in the coming months. It seems that the coupon difference between Granite deals and tight spreads on the secondary market start to finally have an effect on the cash price and the way investors are trading them. Moreover the Economics Commission of the Spanish Congress changed the mortgage market act this week, allowing more flexibility around four aspects for households in difficulties: -raising the threshold for maximum earnings in order to qualify for temporary suspension of eviction -expropriating houses owned by the banks in order to house people who have been evicted -allowing families who cannot meet their payments to enter a form of insolvency proceedings -retroactive application of donation in payment, halting evictions from first homes for mortgage delinquency, and allowing households affected by eviction orders to remain in the same home as tenants paying a social rent This initiative will clearly help the Spanish economy, but will negatively impact Spanish RMBS, since it will increase interest shortfall and decrease principal repayment. Finally in addition to the daily BWICs, the largest activity remained around the primary market with half a dozen deals priced in April.

Primary Market
The primary market has been fairly active during April with half a dozen deals being priced. Once again the largest issuances came from the Dutch RMBS sector and were represented by Storm 2013-II BV and Saecure 13. Also active was the Auto ABS market. Moreover the primary market welcomed its second European Leveraged loan CLO issuance of this year; Dryden XXVII Euro CLO 2013 was issued last week with eight placed tranches, which include three fixed rate tranches totalling an issue size of 90m. The senior tranches are priced tighter with a margin of +135bps than the previously issued Cairn III senior tranche with a margin of +140bps.

Economics Data

The Markit/CIPS UK Construction PMI posted another negative month at 47.2 in March for UK construction activity. As for last month, the decline was mainly due to commercial activity since the housing activity increased again and it is now at 50.8.

Ratings Actions
Moodys has downgraded 120 tranches across 45 deals within the Spanish RMBS and small business loan sectors. The majority of affected securities fall within the senior and mezzanine tranches where securities previously rated A3 have been downgraded to Baa1 or Baa2. The downgrade affects six junior notes by one to three notches and six senior notes by one to two notches across the four Spanish RMBS deals - TDA CAM 7, 8, 10 and 11. The rating action reflects the insufficiency of credit enhancement to address counterparty and sovereign risk. Fitch Ratings has downgraded 14 tranches across the UK CMBS deals, including Business Mortgage Finance 4, 5 & 6 and London and Regional Debt Securities No2 PLC. The downgrade affects the mezzanine and junior tranches. Securities previously rated B have been downgraded to CCC and securities rated A have been downgraded to BBB-.

Markit Structured Finance Research

US ABS Market
Despite the volatility seen in the broader markets, specifically gold and equities, spreads across structured products remained relatively unchanged over the past month. Given the low interest rate environment and the likelihood of it continuing for the foreseeable future, we feel interest in the space will remain strong as investors seek higher alpha.

CMBS
In newer vintage paper, spreads were relatively unchanged, however, legacy paper saw some decent compression month over month. Attention continues to be focused in the AM / AJ parts of the capital structure as investors look to pick up some extra basis points in this sector. AMs were in almost 20bps on both 2006 and 2007 vintages.

Non Agency RMBS

Unlike March, which saw slight spread compression, April gave way to a decent rally across the Non-Agency RMBS space. The majority of sectors experienced a multiple point increase since the beginning of the month. Whereas previous rallies had Subprime lagging a bit, there was significant interest in the sector this time around. This was noticeable in both the cash and synthetic (ABX) markets. Contrary to March, bids wanted in competition (BWIC) activity has been somewhat subdued in April, as accounts are less willing to part with an asset class that appears to continue to grind tighter. This is evidenced by TRACE data below, which shows a gradual slowdown in activity throughout the month and average levels are similar to March with a slight up-tick in daily trade volume, but fewer bonds trading.

New issuance deals: Similar to March, the beginning of the month did not see much in the way of origination, but the latter half of the month saw two deals come to market from Redwood Trust (Sequoia) bringing this years total to 6 deals. The first deal is Sequoia Mortgage Trust 2013-5, which is $463 million in size; the pool is backed by 609 prime fixed rate mortgage loans, with a 772 FICO, 65.9% CLTV and is mostly California dominated (37.6%). The second Redwood Trust deal of the month is Sequoia Mortgage Trust 2013-6, which is $424.9m in size; the pool is backed by 545 prime fixed rate mortgage loans, with a 771 FICO, 66% CLTV with a heavy California concentration (37.1%). The two new Sequoia deals bring US RMBS origination to about $6.5 billion year to date with the Sequoia shelf making up a bulk of it with $3.1bn. At this pace we would reach close to $20bn in origination year; but we expect the number to be a little higher as we believe some of the larger banks may begin to reenter the market later this year, as we saw with JP Morgan last month.

Regulatory/Legal: On April 17th, Bank of Americas Countrywide unit reached a record $500m settlement with investors over mortgage backed securities that were downgraded to below investment grade. Bank of America said the settlement resolves claims on about 80% of the unpaid balance (UPB) of Countrywide-issued residential mortgage-backed securities, and 70% of similar claims against the bank overall. The settlement is separate from the $8.5bn Bank of America settlement over Countrywide securities which is scheduled for hearing on May 30, 2013. At the hearing, the Court will determine, among other things, whether to approve the settlement and make it binding on all certificate holders, and will consider other important matters. Investors are still expecting payouts will be more than 12 months out.

Ocwen continues to expand its mortgage service with the acquisition of Liberty Home Equity from Genworth Financial for a total of $22m on April 3rd. Liberty was the 3rd largest lender in reverse mortgages in the US. In another transaction, Ocwen purchased approximately $115bn in UPB of agency mortgage servicing rights from Ally Bank.

Consumer ABS

Consumer ABS spreads were generally stable into March month-end and throughout April as positive technicals and fundamentals persisted. Trading activity was focused around the usual top-tier names, FFELP subordinate bonds, but the market experienced an increase interest in higher yielding asset classes like franchise and containers, with the later seeing some drastic price changes as some dealers are predicting these deals will be called on their actual call dates. According to our generic spread matrix, auto and credit card spreads leaked out slightly wider; about +2 and +3bps for prime/subprime auto and credit card seniors, respectively. Subordinate spread movements were

mixed, however, fixed-rate credit cards, with 3+ year paper, saw the largest movement (approximately +5bps wider). Student loan spread movements were generally positive, with most benchmark WAL bands tightening about 1 to 2bps. The matrix below shows a breakdown of the spreads for each asset class:

Secondary BWIC volume was slightly down month-over-month, with approximately $3.8bn of consumer ABS bonds out for the bid, as investors appeared to be focused on the new issue pipeline. Auto-related collateral accounted for about 45% of the volume, with equipment ABS being the only asset class to have an up-tick in volume month-over-month.

The ABS new issue market was robust once again this month, with about $12.7bn of consumer ABS hitting the market. Auto issuance is up over 15% month-over-month and has once again accounted for the lions share of the volume. Please see the table below for the full breakdown across all asset classes:

Agency
FHFA decided to extend the HARP program to 2015, which caused the spreads on higher coupon collateral to widen. Month to date flows in to the CMO sector have been 13.5bn. Investors have been interested in the front end of the CMO curve leading to buying of short PACS and stripped coupons backed by 15- and 20-year collateral. PAC and sequential spreads have tightened slightly over the last month. There has recently been an increased demand in lower coupon agency pass-through from money managers in the wake of unusually light trading activity and steady supply. Investors continue to opportunistically buy at any instances of widening, so spreads have been holding relatively firm. The prevailing belief from investors is that the Fed will maintain its accommodative Quantitative Easing policy for at least the remainder of 2013, which will bode well for the broader MBS market. Ginnie Mae recently proposed merging their GN and G2 pass-through programs in an attempt to improve liquidity. They have proposed ending GN issuance, with all new originations to be pooled into G2s. However, the existing GN shelf would still exist, and there is the possibility that GNMA will provide a tender mechanism to give holders of GN the option to convert into G2.

CLO
Throughout the first few weeks of April CLO spreads experienced sideways movement, with some tightening in the lower part of the capital structure and EUR paper, reversing the movement seen in March. However, of late, spreads across the stack on this side of the Atlantic have seen a distinct move tighter. Prepayment assumptions on US CLOs also continue to move higher as well, reflecting the strong re-financing currently going on in the corporate loan space.
