Example 16
[Refer: paragraphs B62–B72]
A decision maker (the sponsor) sponsors a multi-seller conduit, which issues
short-term debt instruments to unrelated third party investors. The
transaction was marketed to potential investors as an investment in a
portfolio of highly rated medium-term assets with minimal exposure to the
credit risk associated with the possible default by the issuers of the assets in
the portfolio. Various transferors sell high quality medium-term asset
portfolios to the conduit. Each transferor services the portfolio of assets that
it sells to the conduit and manages receivables on default for a market-based
servicing fee. Each transferor also provides first loss protection against credit
losses from its asset portfolio through over-collateralisation of the assets
transferred to the conduit. The sponsor establishes the terms of the conduit
and manages the operations of the conduit for a market-based fee. The fee is
commensurate with the services provided. The sponsor approves the sellers
permitted to sell to the conduit, approves the assets to be purchased by the
conduit and makes decisions about the funding of the conduit. The sponsor
must act in the best interests of all investors.
The sponsor is entitled to any residual return of the conduit and also
provides credit enhancement and liquidity facilities to the conduit. The
credit enhancement provided by the sponsor absorbs losses of up to
5 per cent of all of the conduit’s assets, after losses are absorbed by the
transferors. The liquidity facilities are not advanced against defaulted assets.
The investors do not hold substantive rights that could affect the
decision-making authority of the sponsor.
