Perpetual

Perpetual has been involved in the Australian securitisation industry since it’s inception in the early 1980’s. We are the leading provider of trustee and transaction support services to the Australian securitisation industry, holding funds under administration of more than $223 billion at 30 June 2008.

With services ranging from mortgage preparation and settlement right through to trustee and trust management, we are the only company in Australia who can offer the added benefits and efficiencies that come from dealing with a single securitisation services provider.

The recent global credit markets dislocation has driven demand for transparency of deal information and a greater focus on the roles of the standby servicer and standby trust manager.

Through our dedicated investor reporting service, ABSPerpetual.com, we can provide comprehensive and timely collateral, security and payment information on both domestic and international mortgage and asset backed securities to allow investors, issuers, analysts and custodians to analyse and compare securities. To provide enhanced transparency, subscribers will soon have the ability to download a greater range of historical and loan level data.

There is an increased focus on the roles of standby servicer and standby trust manager. As a result, the market now requires a business with demonstrated end-to-end loan servicing and trust management capabilities. Perpetual is well equipped to step-in following an event of default, sale or repossession of assets, through our established 3rd party loan servicing and trust management business.  Our capabilities are evidenced by our recent appointment to step-in to the trust management role for the Elderslie book. We have also stepped in to the additional roles of master servicer, special servicer and trust manager for the Mobius book in conjunction with Pepper Home Loans.
