As of July 21, the third subscription date, total TALF loan requests have reached $1.9 billion, with almost half of that going to finance the purchase of securitizations collateralized by loans made under the U.S. Small Business Administration’s 7(a) and 504 loan programs, which may include PPP loans. Loans for the purchase of CMBS, premium finance ABS (which are backed by loans to finance property and casualty insurance) and private student loan ABS comprise the remainder. Absent from this list are loans to purchase ABS backed by autos, credit cards, equipment loans and dealer floorplan loans as these sectors have recovered significantly since the end of Q1.
