U.S. Structured Finance New Issuance Volume at $69Bn in October, $477Bn YTD (Erb/Manzi)
U.S. Structured Finance (SF) new issuance volume reached $69bn in October, with $32bn in ABS, $12bn in CMBS, $10bn in CLOs, and $14bn in  private label RMBS. Monthly issuance was up by about $12bn from last October's reading, with gains in each SF sector. U.S. SF new issuance volume reached $477bn YTD, up about 2% from the October 2018 YTD figure.

ABS issuance volume reached $219bn YTD at the end of October, up $3bn from last year's reading, with issuance up in autos (+$7bn), equipment (+$5bn), and personal loan ABS (+$3bn), but down in cards (–$11bn) and student loan ABS (–$2bn). On the publication side, we recently released our August 2019 U.S. Auto Loan ABS Tracker and an article covering APAC Auto ABS titled Auto Finance Securitization In Asia-Pacific Could Drive In New Directions.

CLO new issue volume was $100bn YTD and is about $10bn lower than last year's reading. CLO reset/refi issuance continues to be down by over 70% this year, now at $39bn, which included $3bn in October. For more on CLOs, read our recent publication CDO Spotlight: Sector Averages Of Reinvesting US BSL CLO Assets: Credit Quality And Loan Prices Fall In Third-Quarter 2019 in which we discuss the effect of recent economic trends on the U.S. leveraged finance and CLO markets.

CMBS issuance reached $70bn YTD in October, up 6% y/y YTD from $66bn in volume last year, with the increase wholly attributable to higher conduit issuance. (Note that we do not include CRE CLOs in our CMBS totals.) For more CMBS coverage, read our Q3 conduit update, Debt Service Coverages On The Rise.

Private label RMBS issuance reached $87bn YTD in October, up $13bn from 2018's levels. Non-QM volume remains strong at about $19bn YTD, well over double 2018's ten-month figure. For more non-QM RMBS coverage, read our recent publication, Non-QM's Meteoric Rise Is Leading The Private-Label RMBS Comeback.
