问题如下:
In credit card
receivable ABSs, principal cash flows can be altered only when the:
选项:
A.lockout period
expires.
excess spread account
is depleted.
early amortization provision
is triggered.
解释:
C is correct. In credit card receivable ABSs, the only way the principal cash flows can be altered is by triggering the early amortization provision. Such provisions are included in the ABS structure to safeguard the credit quality of the issue.
A is incorrect because expiration of the lockout period does not result in the alteration of principal cash flows but instead defines when principal repayments are distributed to the ABS investors. During the lockout period, principal repayments by cardholders are reinvested. When the lockout period expires, principal repayments by cardholders are distributed to investors.
B is incorrect because the excess spread account
is a credit enhancement for loss absorption. When the excess spread account is depleted,
losses are applied against the overcollateralization
amount followed by the senior/subordinated structure. The only way principal cash flows can be altered is by
triggering the early amortization provision.
