medium · Asset-Backed Securities

A Subprime HEL transaction allocates principal pro rata while its performance tests pass. The documents state that if the three-month rolling net loss exceeds 8%, subordinate principal is locked out and all principal is allocated to the senior class until the test is cured. Net loss reaches 9%.

What happens?

  1. All interest payments to Class B are permanently cancelled
  2. The trust enters immediate 'Early Amortization'
  3. Principal allocation flips from pro-rata to 100% sequential
  4. The Servicer's base fee is reduced by 50 basis points
