Juniper Receiveables DAC, a new offshore shelf for Ally U.S. auto-loan receivables, has received an early 'Baa3' rating from Moody's Investors Service on its initial $530 million issuance.

The largest loan is for the first phase of State Farm’s two-year-old Park Center Phase 1 office tower complex that the firm constructed in Dunwoody, Ga.

That's only half as large as the lender's four previous deals, which ranged from $1.02 billion and $1.12 billion; company executives recently touted a shift toward more financing from deposits.

Over 80% of collateral for the $2 billion transaction consists of trucks, SUVs and crossovers; the deal is also the largest that the captive finance company has sponsored in the last three years.

Four tranches of rated notes totaling $591 million were issued, resulting in an advance rate of 92% vs 88% for the previous deal; pricing also improved.
