CRISIL has assigned its ‘CRISIL AAA (SO)’ rating to the pass-through certificates (PTCs) issued by STFCL Trust March 2015 and credit opinion of ‘CRISIL BBB (SO) Equivalent’ to the second loss facility. The pool is backed by commercial vehicle (CV), construction equipment, passenger vehicle, and tractor loan receivables originated by Shriram Transport Finance Company Ltd (STFCL; rated ‘CRISIL AA/FAA+/Positive/CRISIL A1+’). The rating is based on the credit quality of the pool cash flows, STFCL’s origination and servicing capabilities, the transaction’s credit enhancement and payment mechanism, and the soundness of the transaction’s legal structure.
The receivables arise from a pool of loans for new and used CVs, construction equipment, passenger vehicle, and tractor loans originated by STFCL. The transaction has a ‘par’ structure. STFCL will assign the pool to STFCL Trust March 2015, settled by IDBI Trusteeship Services Ltd, which will issue PTCs to investors. The PTCs receive support from the stipulated cash collateral and the excess interest spread.
