Metrofinanciera RMBS On The Way

Mexican Sofol Metrofinanciera is heard to be preparing a $100m equivalent issue of UDI-denominated RMBS for the week of May 24.

The notes, which are backed by 3,227 mortgage loans, are rated BBB+ by Fitch. Mexico’s Banco IXE is leading the deal. Also heard in the pipeline are larger RMBS offerings from Banamex and Bancomer in the $200-$300m range.
