Auto ABS

GFORT 2024-4 has an interest rate mismatch between the assets and the issued notes, which could reduce excess spread in the trust to the point where it is negative.

Some recent performance deterioration in Volkswagen's managed portfolio vintages and securitization pools helped account for the increase in expected CNL losses.

Total initial hard credit enhancement decreased compared with GCAR 2024-3, subordination for class A notes was unchanged at 48.2%.

All AHART 2024-1's assets are backed by a pool of prime-quality auto loans and retail installment sales contracts, which the lender originated either directly or through relationships with franchised motor dealer channels.

The fixed-rate notes are expected to yield 4.90% on the A1 notes through 5.29% on the class D notes.

The current pool has the largest proportion of longer-term loans, at 49.8%. While this is a concern for analysts, the rest of the industry has seen this kind of increase.

The senior tranche will sell a mix of floating and fixed-rate notes, benefiting 22.5% in credit support. The class B notes are covered to a level of 15.0% and the tranche sells all fixed-rate notes.

The note balance can be upsized to $1.2 billion in auto ABS, according to Moody's Ratings, and the pool size can be increased to 26,514 contracts.

Notes benefit from overcollateralization of 2.60% of the initial pool. Subordination and a sequential payment priority will cause enhancement to be built up in the transaction, with overcollateralization reaching 4.5%.

In a potential credit drawback, TALT 2024-B has a residual value setting of 51.3% of the manufacturer's price. It was less than 50% in all the 2023 lease securitizations.
