DBRS Confirms “A” Rating on Fortress Partners CLO LP

DBRS has today confirmed its rating of “A” on the $225 Million Facility (the Facility) issued by Fortress Partners CLO LP (Fortress Partners) that is collateralized by a portfolio of U.S. high-yield corporate loans. The DBRS rating addresses Fortress Credit’s ability to make timely payments of interest and the final payment of principal on the Facility’s legal maturity date.

The confirmation of the “A” rating reflects the observed performance of both the collateral pool and the structural mechanics since the transaction was initially assigned a DBRS rating on September 12, 2008.
