The senior tranche of Oak Hill European Credit Partners VII has an assumed coupon that is inside of the market average for September.

The transaction's note size is to be determined, but is backed by €750M in lease-backed receivables, compared to €1.5 billion in VW's most recent German lease ABS in May.

The deal benefits from lower credit enhancement requirements after pooling higher FICOs and more seasoned contracts; but residual values continue to decline for the German automaker.

Over three-quarters of loans in the €861.3 million transaction are loans in which borrowers are scheduled to repay almost half the principal in its final installment.

The £571.6 million Elvet Mortgages 2018-1 is the first mortgage bond offering rated by Moody's Investors Service to include loans that were originated using a mobile phone application.

The deal, which comes just a year after the commodity trading firm's last securitization, represents 7.85% of assets in a revolving trust; it may be upsized to $500 million.

Brass No. 7 is Accord's ninth overall securitization of prime mortgages for owner-occupied homes and the second to feature a revolving period.

Collateralized loan obligations denominated in pounds sterling were once a tough sell; two recent deals from Barclays and PGIM indicate that this is changing.

Only 9.6% of €1.08 billion of collateral meets the criteria for responsible lending and borrowing set by the National Institute for Family Finance in the Netherlands, down from 22.9% for the prior deal.

The initial collateral for Tower Bridge Funding No. 3 consists of 1,737 loans totaling £375.5 million, and there will be a £125 million prefunding account that can be used to acquire additional collateral before the first interest payment date.
