DBRS Takes Rating Action on U.S. RMBS Securities
RMBSDBRS has today taken action on 25 classes from 16 U.S. residential mortgage-backed security (RMBS) transactions. Of the 25 classes reviewed, 21 classes were confirmed and then discontinued due to a repayment to noteholders. These classes were also removed from Under Review with Developing Implications (see “DBRS Publishes Updated U.S. RMBS Surveillance Methodology and Places Ratings Under Review with Developing Implications,” published on March 3, 2014). The remaining four classes were also discontinued due to a repayment to noteholders.
The transactions that have been confirmed have exhibited current asset performance and credit support levels consistent with the current ratings.
The rating actions are the result of DBRS applying its updated “U.S. RMBS Surveillance Methodology” and “RMBS Insight 1.2: U.S. Residential Mortgage-Backed Securities Model and Rating Methodology.”
The transactions affected by the rating actions consist of U.S. RMBS transactions. A majority of the pools backing these transactions consist of primarily subprime and Alt-A residential loans.
Notes:
The applicable methodologies are U.S. RMBS Surveillance Methodology and RMBS Insight 1.2: U.S. Residential Mortgage-Backed Securities Model and Rating Methodology, which can be found on our website under Methodologies.
These ratings are endorsed by DBRS Ratings Limited for use in the European Union.
