Even though asset credit risk is limited to a considerable extent, it is still present: • The buffer provided by the 60 % mortgage lending limit is itself subject to risk (real estate risk). For more details, see Sect. 7. • As pointed out by Packmohr (2011), there is no restriction with respect to the creditworthiness of EU sovereign debt, and countries that are subject to default or restructuring do not have to be excluded from the cover pool. While mortgage cover assets still benefit from a claim against a real estate property in case the debtor defaults, public sector cover assets do not offer an additional source of recourse, and debt repayment depends to a certain extent on the political willingness to do so (Dierks and Engelhard 2010).

2) might provide some ease in this context. Maintenance of Overcollateralization Overcollateralization acts as a buffer against cover pool risks and is an important form of credit enhancement. The issuer’s decision regarding the actual level of voluntary overcollateralization maintained is driven by his general business strategy and the target Pfandbrief rating. To obtain this target rating, rating agencies typically require a certain level of overcollateralization to be held, which exceeds legal requirements and depends, among others, on the target rating itself and the cover pool’s quality.

17, the amount and the share of outstanding Jumbo Pfandbriefe has continuously decreased over time. While, in 2003, EUR 414 bn of Jumbos were outstanding, it was only EUR 150 bn in 2011. Their relative share in the Pfandbrief market has also decreased, from 39 to 26 %. As pointed out by Volk (2012), this reflects a recent trend towards benchmark issues with a volume of EUR 500 mn to EUR 1 bn. In comparison with Jumbos, which are considered to be more liquid than smaller issuance sizes, benchmark issues are more favourable in the context of asset liability management and legal requirements regarding liquidity holdings (Wolf 2012).
