SC round up: German TSI boosted by Dresdner deal

Germany’s True Sale Initiative received some much-needed publicity last month when the first CLO to be structured under the programme emerged from Dresdner Bank.

Dresdner’s first cash deal, the SME-backed RCL Securitization GmbH, involves both a €1 billion, 3.95 year triple-A rated tranche and a further €1.94 billion of notes that were funded through one of Dresdner’s ABCP conduits. The support of the large ABCP-funded tranche meant that the term notes priced very tightly at 10 basis points over Euribor.
