Fitch Affirms ConQuest 2010-1R Trust at 'AAAsf'

Mon, 03 Mar - 2:36pm
(The following statement was released by the rating agency)

SYDNEY, March 02 (Fitch) Fitch Ratings has affirmed ConQuest 2010-1R Trust's 
Class A notes, as shown below. The transaction is a securitisation of 
first-ranking Australian conforming residential mortgages originated by MyState 
Financial Limited.

AUD100m Class A notes (ISIN AU3FN0010617) affirmed at 'AAAsf'; Outlook Stable.

KEY RATING DRIVERS

The affirmation reflects Fitch's view that available credit enhancement is 
sufficient to support the notes' current ratings, and the agency's expectations 
of Australia's economic conditions. The credit quality and performance of the 
loans in the collateral pool have remained in line with expectations. The 
transaction remains within its substitution period with principal collections 
being used to purchase additional receivables.

As at end-January 2014, 30+ days arrears stood at 0.57%, compared to Fitch's 
3Q13 Dinkum Prime Index of 1.19%. Since closing in May 2010, ConQuest 2010-1R 
has experienced six defaults, resulting in four losses totalling AUD219,227. All 
losses have been covered by lenders' mortgage insurance (LMI) and excess spread.

LMI covered 30% of the underlying portfolio, and provided by Genworth Financial 
Mortgage Insurance Pty Ltd (24%) and QBE Lenders' Mortgage Insurance Limited 
(6%; Insurer Financial Strength Rating: AA-/Stable).

The transaction remains within its ten-year substitution period, ending in 2020, 
and no amortisation of the notes has occurred to date. Fitch is comfortable with 
the long revolving period because the portfolio stratifications have not changed 
significantly since initial issue, MyState's product mix has not materially 
changed over this time, and the portfolio is performing as expected.

RATING SENSITIVITIES

A significant and unexpected increase in delinquencies, defaults and losses 
would be necessary for a negative rating action to be considered. Credit 
enhancement levels for the Class A notes can support multiples of the arrears 
levels reported in the latest investor reports.
