(The following statement was released by the rating agency)SYDNEY, November 09 (Fitch) Fitch Ratings has affirmed the ratings of 24 tranches of one Maxis and 13 SMHL Maxis transactions. The transactions are securitisations of Australian conforming residential mortgages originated by Members Equity Bank Pty Ltd (ME Bank). The full list of rating actions can be found at the end of this commentary. KEY RATING DRIVERS The affirmations reflect Fitch's view that available credit enhancement is sufficient to support the notes' current ratings, our expectations of Australia's economic conditions, and the fact that the credit quality and performance of the loans in the collateral pool have remained in line with expectations. Per the criteria, the default model was only run for seven transactions; Maxis Securitisation Fund 2009-1; SMHL Securitisation Fund 2008-2; SMHL Securitisation Fund 2009-2; SMHL Securitisation Fund 2009-3; SMHL Series Securitisation Fund 2010-3; SMHL Securitisation Fund 2011-1; and SMHL Series Securitisation Fund 2011-2. At September 2015, Maxis 2009-1 had the highest levels of 30+ day arrears at 9.2%, while SMHL 2014-1 had the lowest levels of 30+ day arrears at 0.9%, compared to Fitch's Dinkum RMBS Index of 1.12%. Performance of all SMHL & Maxis transactions has been within Fitch's expectations, with minimal levels of defaults and losses. All transactions are covered by mortgage insurance, with policies provided by Genworth Financial (N:GNW) Mortgage Insurance Pty Ltd (Insurer Financial Strength Rating: A+/Stable), HLIC and QBE Lenders' Mortgage Insurance Limited (Insurer Financial Strength Rating: AA-/Stable). To date, all losses not paid by the mortgage insurers have been covered by excess spread. RATING SENSITIVITIES Sequential pay-down has increased credit enhancement for the senior notes of each transaction, with the 'AAAsf' rated notes able to withstand many multiples of the latest reported arrears. The ratings are not expected to be affected by any foreseeable change in performance. Most of the ratings are independent of downgrades to the LMI providers' ratings, with the exception of the Class AB notes of SMHL Securitisation Fund 2012-2. DUE DILIGENCE USAGE No third party due diligence was provided or reviewed in relation to this rating action. DATA ADEQUACY Fitch conducted a file review of 10 sample loan files focusing on the underwriting procedures conducted by ME Bank compared to its credit policy at the time of underwriting. Fitch has checked the consistency and plausibility of the information and no material discrepancies were noted that would impact Fitch's rating analysis.
