medium · Asset-Backed Securities tranching

A trust has $100,000,000 of assets and $95,000,000 of bonds.

If the OC target is $8,000,000, and this month the interest waterfall shows $400,000 of excess spread after coupons and fees, how will that $400,000 be used in a standard deal?

  1. It will be used as principal to pay down bonds, increasing OC to $5,400,000.
  2. It will be used to buy $400,000 worth of new bonds in the secondary market.
  3. It will be added to the interest payments of the Class A bondholders as a bonus.
  4. It will be paid immediately to the residual holder because the assets already exceed the bonds.
