Launched to much fanfare in 2003, the TSI was designed to boost true-sale securitization in Germany, but has ended up being something of a sideshow as the cash market has steadily developed outside the scheme.

The support of the large ABCP-funded tranche meant that the term notes priced very tightly at 10 basis points over Euribor.
