At approximately $1.8 billion, catastrophe bond issuance nearly doubled in 2003 compared with previous years, sources at Moody's Investors Service reported. While the insurance sector issuer base has leveled off, corporates may become more active in the market, with at least one or two hopefuls in the pipeline, and even more kicking around the idea.

The market was pleasantly surprised by last week's series 2004-A pricing from the Providian Financial Gateway Master Trust. The transaction was also Providian's first-ever Gateway offering with a senior/subordinate structure - and it featured the first natural double-A rated class ever in the credit card sector. While many gauged the market reception, particularly the double-A rated B class, the phenomenon is unlikely to spread throughout the sector, sources said.

With $32 billion in assets under management, 25% of which is held in ABCP, the short-term portfolio at Oppenheimer Funds controls a little over 1% of the roughly $700 billion U.S. ABCP market.

The typical quarter-end rush was in full effect last week, with more than $20 billion of U.S. ABS new-issue supply. In all, the market saw offerings in the auto, credit card, home equity and foreign MBS sectors, with more than half of the supply in the mortgage-related sector. In an unprecedented sign, investors saw multiple transactions from three issuers, as well as a pair of different dealer shelves offering bonds backed by the same originator.

Thus far this year, new-issue auto rental fleet lease ABS is picking up as anticipated. With Hertz Rent-A-Car having completed its inaugural term securitization last week, the market has seen three issuers price deals. At least three more deals are still ahead.

Credit Suisse First Boston is marketing an innovative repackaging of single-tranche CDOs in a deal called Cheyne Correlation CDO I. While the portfolio will be static, once ramped up, Cheyne Capital will be able to short the underlying credits as a way to manage the portfolio.

This time last year AmeriCredit Corp. was in the middle of a liquidity crisis brought on by unanticipated economic factors and strategic bungles.

Citigroup Global Markets, the leading ABS underwriter last year, has sprung off the blocks on the right foot, as it has bolted to an early first-quarter lead in the league tables, according to preliminary numbers maintained by Thomson Financial. With more than $20 billion of ABS counted through last Wednesday, it is unlikely that the current second-place underwriter will overcome Citi's $7 billion cushion.
