Fitch Affirms Ratings of 7 Conforming RESIMAC Transactions

Thu, 13 Mar - 10:07am
(The following statement was released by the rating agency)

SYDNEY, March 12 (Fitch) Fitch Ratings has affirmed the ratings of seven 
conforming RMBS transactions issued by Perpetual Trustee Company Limited in its 
capacity as trustee of the RESIMAC Triomphe Trusts. The transactions are backed 
by pools of Australian conforming residential mortgages originated by RESIMAC 
Limited. 

The transactions are: RESIMAC Premier Series 2009-1 (RESIMAC 2009-1); RESIMAC 
Premier Series 2009-2 (RESIMAC 2009-2); RESIMAC Premier Series 2010-1 (RESIMAC 
2010-1); RESIMAC Premier Series 2010-2 (RESIMAC 2010-2); RESIMAC Premier Series 
2011-1 (RESIMAC 2011-1); RESIMAC Premier Series 2012-1 (RESIMAC 2012-1); and 
RESIMAC Premier Series 2013-1 (RESIMAC 2013-1). 

The full list of rating actions can be found at the end of this commentary.

KEY RATING DRIVERS 

The rating actions 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. Arrears and 
losses have been consistently low, while excess spread has remained stable. The 
ratings also reflect RESIMAC Limited's mortgage underwriting and servicing 
capabilities.

At 31 January 2014, 30+ days arrears levels for six of the seven RESIMAC 
transactions were below Fitch's Dinkum Index of 1.21%. RESIMAC 2010-1 RMBS Trust 
had the highest level of arrears at 4.1% primarily due to the higher level of 
low documentation loans, while RESIMAC 2011-1 recorded the lowest level at 0.3%.

All transactions are 100% covered by lenders' mortgage insurance (LMI). The 
transactions have experienced low levels of losses, with all losses covered by 
LMI or excess spread.

RATING SENSITIVITIES 

Unexpected increases in delinquencies, defaults and losses would be necessary 
before any negative rating action would be considered. Credit enhancement levels 
for the Class A notes can support multiples of the arrears levels reported in 
the latest investor reports. The ratings of the transactions' Class A notes are 
independent of downgrades to the LMI providers' ratings.

The ratings of RESIMAC 2012-1Class A1-B and RESIMAC 2013-1 Class A2-B notes are 
linked to National Australia Bank Limited's (NAB, AA-/F1+/Stable) Short-Term 
Issuer Default Rating (IDR) of 'F1+'.

Fitch's initial key rating drivers and rating sensitivities are further 
discussed in the transactions' corresponding New Issue reports listed under 
"Related Research".  Included as an appendix to the reports for RESIMAC 2012-1 
and RESIMAC 2013-1 are a description of the representations, warranties, and 
enforcement mechanisms.

A comparison of the transactions' representations, warranties and enforcement 
mechanisms (RW&Es) to those of typical RW&Es for this asset class is also
