Moody's Investors Service assigned preliminary ratings to the new U.K. RMBS deal from Lloyds Bank's Arkle master trust.
The deal, Arkle Master Issuer plc Series 2012-1, will be managed by Citigroup and JPMorgan Chase, according to market reports.
The issuer has yet to announce how big the deal will be but based on the Moody's presale report, the capital structure will include three 'AAA' rated tranches with notes due on May 2060.
The notes are backed by a pool of U.K. prime residential mortgage loans. It will be the ninth issuance out of the Arkle Master Trust.
"Unlike recent issuances out of the Arkle Master Trust, the 2012-1 notes will not use the dedicated yield reserve to pay part of the note interest," Moody's analysts stated. "The note coupons under this issuance will instead be payable in full via the revenue waterfall."
