Bank of Nova Scota's third overall deal in its brief auto-loan securitization history will feature $500m in U.S.-dollar denominated bonds.

The total includes over $78 billion in new transactions; collateralized loan obligations issued post-crisis have lmited exposure to Toys R Us, which filed for bankruptcy last week.

Credit enhancement for the senior, triple-A-rated notes is in line with recent Honda transactions, but the pool of collateral is concentrated (12%) in Texas and Florida, making it vulnerable to economic disruption from hurricanes.

The San Francisco-based bank's first prime auto loan securitization in two years includes a sizable portion of loans (60% of the pool) with terms exceeding six years.

The €684.8 million transaction is backed primarily by new-car leases to German prime borrowers. It's the 21st German securitization by FCE Bank, Ford's UK-based captive finance arm.

The federal savings institution is pooling more than 33,000 well-seasoned auto loans to its armed services-linked membership base.

The credit quality of the collateral is lower, by several metrics, than that of Exeter's prior deal; however, S&P Global expects cumulative net losses to be in the same range, from 20.1%-21.1%.

Ford Motor Credit, GM Financial and Fifth Third Bancorp are marketing a combined $3.4 billion in prime auto loan and lease asset-backed securities, according to presale reports published Thursday.

The parent company of Dunkin' Donuts and Baskin-Robbins will use $733 million of proceeds to repay debt issued in 2015; the remainder will be used for general corporate purposes, including funding a dividend to shareholders.

S&P says exclusion of the value of "personal contract purchase" balloon payments from Santander's Motor 2017-2 transaction will benefit the deal through excess spread and recoveries from contract defaults.
