Cerberus launches monster mezz sale as repo terms worsen

Cerberus Capital Management is selling one of the largest ever portfolios of UK mezzanine mortgage bonds on Thursday, following a deterioration in the terms available in the ABS repo market after the huge volatility seen in the Covid crisis. The sale comes the same week as the sale of the last tranche of mortgages by government bad bank UK Asset Resolution, which could also flood the market with mezzanine supply.
