Fitch Affirms Ratings of 41 FirstMac RMBS Tranches

Fri, 14 Mar - 4:54pm
(The following statement was released by the rating agency)

SYDNEY, March 14 (Fitch) Fitch Ratings has affirmed 41 classes of notes issued 
under 14 FirstMac RMBS transactions. Fitch has also affirmed the rating of the 
currency swap obligation on the class A-1 notes of FirstMac Mortgage Funding 
Trust Series 1E-2007. All transactions are backed by pools of conforming 
Australian residential mortgages sourced directly or by way of third-party 
introducers. The mortgages were originated in the name of nominee companies on 
behalf of the trustee, FirstMac Fiduciary Services Pty Ltd, and sold to the 
various trusts by FirstMac warehouses. The full list of rating actions can be 
found at the end of this commentary.

KEY RATING DRIVERS

The affirmations reflect Fitch's view that available credit enhancement supports 
the notes at their current ratings, the agency's expectations of Australia's 
economic conditions, and that the credit quality and performance of the 
underlying loans have remained within the agency's expectations.

All transactions are paying down on a sequential basis with principal 
collections being allocated to the senior notes with the exception of FirstMac 
Mortgage Funding Trust Series 1E-2007, FirstMac Mortgage Funding Trust Series 
2-2008, FirstMac Mortgage Funding Trust Series 1-2010 and the Class A and AB 
notes in FirstMac Bond Series 2-2005 Trust and FirstMac Mortgage Funding Trust 
Series 1-2007. FirstMac Mortgage Funding Trust Series 1E-2007 is expected to 
revert to sequential pay down starting from the investment payment date in March 
2014. The amortisation of the notes has resulted in improvements in credit 
enhancement.

As at end-January 2013, 30+ days arrears ranged between 0.1% for FirstMac 
Mortgage Funding Trust Series 2E-2013 and 3.4% for FirstMac Bond Series 2-2005 
Trust. Since closing 231 loans have defaulted and originated a loss across the 
outstanding Fitch rated transactions. Lenders' mortgage insurance (LMI) has paid 
86.6% of these losses and the rest has been covered either by excess spread or 
by the originator.

The reported weighted average current loan-to-value ratio (WA LVR) ranged from 
58.9% (FirstMac Mortgage Funding Trust Series 1E-2007) to 71.2% (FirstMac 
Mortgage Funding Trust Series 1-2009). Indexation was negative for FirstMac 
Mortgage Funding Trust Series 1-2010, as the WA LVR increased to 74.3% from 
73.3% due to geographical concentration in Queensland and the seasoning of the 
loans. FirstMac Bond Series 1E-2006 Trust benefitted the most from indexation 
with WA LVR improving to 60.5% from 69.4%. FirstMac Mortgage Funding Trust 
Series 1E-2007 had the lowest indexed WA LVR (52.3%).

The pools contain a significant portion of loans collateralised by investment 
properties, ranging from 37.6% (FirstMac Mortgage Funding Trust Series 2E-2013) 
to 66.9% (FirstMac Mortgage Funding Trust Series 1-2007). The portion of 
interest-only loans is also relatively high ranging from 26.9% (FirstMac 
Mortgage Funding Trust Series 1E-2007) to 70.0% (FirstMac Bond Series 1C-2006).

FirstMac Mortgage Funding Trust Series 1-2007 has a significant portion of low 
doc loans (85.9%). The portion of low-doc loans is limited in other 
transactions, ranging from 17.6% (FirstMac Bond Series 1C-2006 to 1.1% (FirstMac 
Bond Series 2-2005 Trust). The following have no low-doc loans: FirstMac Bond 
Series 1E-2006 Trust, FirstMac Mortgage Funding Trust Series 1E-2007, FirstMac 
Mortgage Funding Trust Series 2-2011, FirstMac Mortgage Funding Trust Series 
1E-2013, FirstMac Mortgage Funding Trust RMBS Series 3-2012 and FirstMac 
Mortgage Funding Trust Series 2E-2013.

All transactions have LMI provided by one or more of the following insurers; QBE 
Lenders' Mortgage Insurance Limited (Insurer Financial Strength rating: 
AA-/Stable), Genworth Financial Mortgage Insurance Pty Ltd, and Housing Loan 
Insurance Corporation. No transactions have experienced any losses to date.

RATING SENSITIVITIES

The sequential pay-down has enhanced credit enhancement for senior notes, 
especially for well-seasoned transactions. As at end-January 2014, the senior 
notes could withstand multiples of latest-reported arrears. Class A notes remain 
independent of a downgrade to the LMI provider's rating. Class AB notes of 
recently originated transactions remain sensitive to any change in the LMI 
providers' ratings. Initial Key Rating Drivers and Rating Sensitivities are 
further discussed in the New Issue reports listed under "Related Research". 
Included as an appendix to the reports for Firstmac Mortgage Funding Trust 
Series 2E-2013, Firstmac Mortgage Funding Trust Series 1E-2013, Firstmac 
Mortgage Funding Trust Series 3-2012, Firstmac Mortgage Funding Trust Series 
1-2012 and FirstMac Mortgage Funding Trust Series 2-2011 are a description of

March 14 (Reuters) - (The following statement was released by the rating agency)

Fitch Ratings has affirmed 41 classes of notes issued under 14 FirstMac RMBS transactions. Fitch has also affirmed the rating of the currency swap obligation on the class A-1 notes of FirstMac Mortgage Funding Trust Series 1E-2007. All transactions are backed by pools of conforming Australian residential mortgages sourced directly or by way of third-party introducers. The mortgages were originated in the name of nominee companies on behalf of the trustee, FirstMac Fiduciary Services Pty Ltd, and sold to the various trusts by FirstMac warehouses. The full list of rating actions can be found at the end of this commentary.

KEY RATING DRIVERS

The affirmations reflect Fitch's view that available credit enhancement supports the notes at their current ratings, the agency's expectations of Australia's economic conditions, and that the credit quality and performance of the underlying loans have remained within the agency's expectations.

All transactions are paying down on a sequential basis with principal collections being allocated to the senior notes with the exception of FirstMac Mortgage Funding Trust Series 1E-2007, FirstMac Mortgage Funding Trust Series 2-2008, FirstMac Mortgage Funding Trust Series 1-2010 and the Class A and AB notes in FirstMac Bond Series 2-2005 Trust and FirstMac Mortgage Funding Trust Series 1-2007. FirstMac Mortgage Funding Trust Series 1E-2007 is expected to revert to sequential pay down starting from the investment payment date in March 2014. The amortisation of the notes has resulted in improvements in credit enhancement.

As at end-January 2013, 30+ days arrears ranged between 0.1% for FirstMac Mortgage Funding Trust Series 2E-2013 and 3.4% for FirstMac Bond Series 2-2005 Trust. Since closing 231 loans have defaulted and originated a loss across the outstanding Fitch rated transactions. Lenders' mortgage insurance (LMI) has paid 86.6% of these losses and the rest has been covered either by excess spread or by the originator.

The reported weighted average current loan-to-value ratio (WA LVR) ranged from 58.9% (FirstMac Mortgage Funding Trust Series 1E-2007) to 71.2% (FirstMac Mortgage Funding Trust Series 1-2009). Indexation was negative for FirstMac Mortgage Funding Trust Series 1-2010, as the WA LVR increased to 74.3% from 73.3% due to geographical concentration in Queensland and the seasoning of the loans. FirstMac Bond Series 1E-2006 Trust benefitted the most from indexation with WA LVR improving to 60.5% from 69.4%. FirstMac Mortgage Funding Trust Series 1E-2007 had the lowest indexed WA LVR (52.3%).

The pools contain a significant portion of loans collateralised by investment properties, ranging from 37.6% (FirstMac Mortgage Funding Trust Series 2E-2013) to 66.9% (FirstMac Mortgage Funding Trust Series 1-2007). The portion of interest-only loans is also relatively high ranging from 26.9% (FirstMac Mortgage Funding Trust Series 1E-2007) to 70.0% (FirstMac Bond Series 1C-2006).

FirstMac Mortgage Funding Trust Series 1-2007 has a significant portion of low doc loans (85.9%). The portion of low-doc loans is limited in other transactions, ranging from 17.6% (FirstMac Bond Series 1C-2006 to 1.1% (FirstMac Bond Series 2-2005 Trust). The following have no low-doc loans: FirstMac Bond Series 1E-2006 Trust, FirstMac Mortgage Funding Trust Series 1E-2007, FirstMac Mortgage Funding Trust Series 2-2011, FirstMac Mortgage Funding Trust Series 1E-2013, FirstMac Mortgage Funding Trust RMBS Series 3-2012 and FirstMac Mortgage Funding Trust Series 2E-2013.

All transactions have LMI provided by one or more of the following insurers; QBE Lenders' Mortgage Insurance Limited (Insurer Financial Strength rating: AA-/Stable), Genworth Financial Mortgage Insurance Pty Ltd, and Housing Loan Insurance Corporation. No transactions have experienced any losses to date.

RATING SENSITIVITIES

The sequential pay-down has enhanced credit enhancement for senior notes, especially for well-seasoned transactions. As at end-January 2014, the senior notes could withstand multiples of latest-reported arrears. Class A notes remain independent of a downgrade to the LMI provider's rating. Class AB notes of recently originated transactions remain sensitive to any change in the LMI providers' ratings. Initial Key Rating Drivers and Rating Sensitivities are further discussed in the New Issue reports listed under "Related Research".
