The bonds are guaranteed by a portfolio of assets purchased by Red Sail from OCBC Bank and other assets of Red Sail.
The bonds are also expected to be rated Aaa by Moody's and AAA by Fitch Ratings.
The covered bonds are expected to be issued on March 14, and listed on the Singapore Exchange on March 15.
