III. Notes for the Survey
1. Issuance dates
Please be aware that the issuance dates included in the survey differ for JHF RMBS and other securitization products as follows.
(i) For issues other than JHF RMBS, securitization products reported by the “Securitization Market Trends Survey” (issues made since April 2004) are covered by this survey.
—Products issued before the start of the “Securitization Market Trends Survey” (April 1, 2004) are not included.
(ii) All existing JHF RMBS are covered by this survey.
— All issues made by JHF from March 2001 to current base date (including Government Housing Loan Corporation Mortgage-backed Securities) are included.
2. Coverage
Please be aware of the following points regarding coverage of securitization product balances announced based on the “Securitization Market Trends Survey”.
• Reporting is voluntary
• Reporting only applies to products issued since April 2004
• Asset-backed loans (ABL) are only covered when either securities or trust beneficiary rights are issued in separate tranches. If only the loan format is used, the issue is not covered.
• Asset-backed commercial paper (ABCP) is, in principle, not covered.
• In the case of securitization products with trust beneficiary rights as their underlying assets, in principle, only the reported securitized products are covered; the underlying trust beneficiary rights are outside the scope of coverage.
3. Supplemental Information
• Products that have reached their final legal maturity date are deemed to have no balance. In addition, securitization products that were issued during the base month for reporting are deemed to have full issuance amount balances.
• The following are the percentages of products within the scope of the survey for which balances could not be determined.
On a number of issues basis: 1.4%; on an issuance amount basis: 0.5%
