Money Partners completes securitisation

The transaction - Money Partners Securities 4 Plc (MPS4) - was issued by Kensington Group PLC with The Royal Bank of Scotland and West LB acting as lead managers.

For the first time, MPS4 comprises assets originated by both Money Partners and Kensington. Approximately 72 per cent of the portfolio by balance was originated by Money Partners and 28 per cent by Kensington Mortgage Company.

MPS4 brings to £2 billion the total value of Residential Mortgage Backed Securities (RMBS) transactions completed under the Money Partners banner since the specialist lender's launch two years ago.

Simon Kingdon, Money Partners' finance director, said: "MPS4 attracted a wider investor base than previous transactions and was oversubscribed at all levels. We are delighted with the continuing development of our securitisation programme."
