What is a Covered Bond? A full recourse debt instrument that is secured by a segregated pool of assets. –Recourse both to the issuing entity (the “Issuer”) and a substituting pool of collateral –Typically high-quality, over-collateralised mortgage assets –Other assets currently used are municipal loans, shipping leases (Germany only) and social housing loans (UK only) Bullet Payments Fixed Rate Cash flow from the assets is used to purchase other assets if needed Ratings are usually AAA/Aaa Currency – EUR / GBP / USD / Other No covered bond has ever defaulted The issuance is regulated by a specific legal framework or on a contractual basis. CBs are issued by a bank with a dynamic pool of earmarked assets on the balance sheet of the issuer collateralizing the bonds. The bonds are bankruptcy-segregated and excluded from the bankruptcy procedure of the Issuer. CB holders have a preferential claim on the segregated collateral assets should the Issuer default.

INFONAVIT tu derecho a vivir mejor tu derecho a vivir mejor Covered Bonds in Mexico Covered bond legislation has yet to be established in Mexico. Credit Institutions’ Law has to be modified for Banks issuing Covered Bonds. Banco de Mexico’s Circular 4/2006 do not allow Credit Institutions to pledge assets to guaranty the issuance of Certificados Bursatiles backed by mortgage loans. IPAB (Mexico’s Deposit Insurance Corporation) considers all assets in a failed bank as collateral for its insurance payments. We think Structured Covered Bonds are viable for the issuance of covered bonds for non-banks in Mexico. Structures may be designed to achieve dual-recourse, a defining characteristic of covered bonds, which protects investors from loss and acceleration in the event of an issuer insolvency.
