Optimum Credit joins flourishing autumn ABS pipeline

Optimum Credit, a subsidiary of Pepper Money mandated Citi and NatWest Markets for Castell 2020-1, a UK second lien RMBS placing a full capital structure. It joins deals from Finance Ireland and RNHB in a growing pipeline of European securitization, with bankers hoping to make up for a disappointing second quarter.
Like several of the sterling deals placed over the summer, Castell 2020-1 has been heavily anchored ahead of announcement, with a protected order of around £100m in the class ‘A’, half each of the class ‘B’ and ‘C’, and the rest of the capital structure pre-placed.
