An originator securitizes a pool of Rs 50 crore. The pool earns an average interest of 12% p.a. The PTCs pay investors 9% p.a. Servicing and trustee fees are 0.5% p.a. of the pool. Taking the pool as constant for one year, what is the annual excess spread in rupees?

The excess spread is Rs 1.25 crore. Pool interest of Rs 6 crore less investor coupon of Rs 4.5 crore and fees of Rs 0.25 crore leaves Rs 1.25 crore, which works as the first line of credit enhancement.

Explanation

Pool interest is 12% of 50 = Rs 6.00 crore. PTC coupon is 9% of 50 = Rs 4.50 crore and fees are 0.5% of 50 = Rs 0.25 crore. Excess spread = 6.00 - 4.50 - 0.25 = Rs 1.25 crore. Rs 1.50 crore ignores the servicing fees.
