The market expects 5.2% yields on the AAA-rated tranche, slightly tighter than the 5.1% seen on the AAA-rated notes on an earlier deal, the Affirm Asset Securitization Trust, 2024-B series.

Slated to close later this week, the transaction can be upsized to $1.6 billion.

The assets are composed of seasoned mortgage loans financing a range of residential property types.

The deal will repay investors on a hyrid pro rata, sequential basis. Credit enhancement ranges from 51.7% on the class A1A notes to the 2.25% on the class B2 notes.

Underlying borrowers have accumulated significant amount of home equity in their homes, to a weighted average (WA) original cumulative loan-to-value (CLTV) ratio of 69.5%.

The notes can withstand breakeven default levels of 73.38%, 57.8%, 40.71% and 34.17%, respectively. Those levels surpass the loss multiples of its expected 20.7% in cumulative gross defaults.

T-Mobile is broadly syndicating $500 million of securities, and the total size of the securitization is $561.34 million.

This is the inaugural deal from Cherry Technology, formerly known as Mason Finance. Its capital structure includes a 24-month revolving period and a strong contingent of credit enhancements.

All the three senior class A notes benefit from 60.95% in total initial hard credit enhancement. A reserve fund representing 1.00% of the total balance helps provide the credit enhancement to the notes.

A trigger occurs if the reserve fund is less than 50% of the reserve fund target amount, or if the payment date where the outstanding HEA valuation is less than 80% of the starting home valuation.
