More RMBS innovation from Columbus

John Kavanagh

After breaking new ground in the securitisation market in July, with the first RMBS issue backed entirely by loans to self-managed superannuation funds, Columbus Capital has followed up with an issue backed entirely by loans to non-Australian resident borrowers.

The issue, Vermillion 2020-1, raised A$418.9 million in a transaction managed by Credit Cuisse, Natixis Australia and Standard Chartered.

Pricing included 90 basis points over the one-month bank bill swap rate on the $100.5 million of A1-MM notes, which have a weighted average life of 0.9 years.

The $98.4 million of A1-AU notes, which have a weighted average life of three years, were priced at 175 bps over BBSW.

The $49.8 million of B notes, which have a weighted average life of 3.4 years, were priced at 250 bps over BBSW.

And the $59.1 million of C notes, which have a weighted average life of 3.4 years, were priced at 380 bps over BBSW.
