SPECIALIST DEBT SECURITIES AND THE IRISH STOCK EXCHANGE
May 1st, 2012 by Conor McCabe
Mortgage-backed securities form part of the rise in specialised debt securities which occurs on the Irish stock exchange after 1999.
The first Irish mortgage securitisation took place in October 1995 when Irish Life Homeloans repackaged £100 million in residential mortgages as a special purpose vehicle and opened it up to investors. The company was not a retail bank – that is, its funds did not come from deposits but from the purchase of money on credit on the wholesale money markets.
The credit raised by the special purpose vehicle was used to fund more mortgages. ‘When the move is completed’ wrote the Irish Times, the company ‘will have securitised about 25 per cent of its mortgage loan book and will have boosted its lending power by £100 million.’
One month later the company announced the creation of another mortgage-backed security – this time for £200 million. Chief Executive Mr. Brian McManus said that securitisations were an important fund-raising option as they ‘could be organised quickly with a minimum of administrative, legal and technical delay.’ This certainly seems to have been the case, as in just over four weeks, Irish Life Homeloans had securitised almost 75 per cent of its mortgage book. Old mortgages were being used to fund new mortgages.
First National Building Society entered the securitisation market in 1996, with a £200 million issue, followed by another in 1998, also for £200 million.
Below is a list of Irish mortgage-backed securities that I’ve been able to identify so far, and which were listed on the Irish Stock Exchange.
From 2001 onwards they became more and more important to how Irish financial institutions funded their mortgage business, and at the same time added to the mortgage bubble itself.
