DBRS Takes Rating Actions on U.S. RMBS Securities
RMBSDBRS, Inc. (DBRS) has today reviewed 158 classes from 29 U.S. residential mortgage-backed security (RMBS) transactions. Of the 158 classes reviewed, 69 classes were upgraded, 86 classes were confirmed and three classes were discontinued due to full principal repayment to the bondholders.
The rating upgrades reflect positive performance trends and that these classes have experienced increases in credit support sufficient to withstand stresses at their new rating level. For transactions where the rating has been confirmed, current asset performance and credit support levels have been consistent with the current rating.
The transactions consist of re-securitization of real estate mortgage investment conduit (ReREMIC) transactions. The pools backing these transactions consist of Subprime, Alt-A, Re-performing, Prime and Option ARM 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.
