DBRS Takes Rating Actions on 27 U.S. RMBS Transactions
RMBSDBRS, Inc. (DBRS) reviewed 133 classes from 27 U.S. resecuritization of real estate mortgage investment conduits (ReREMICs) and residential mortgage-backed security (RMBS) transactions. Of the 133 classes reviewed, DBRS upgraded 62 ratings, confirmed 64 ratings and discontinued seven ratings.
The rating upgrades reflect positive performance trends and increases in credit support sufficient to withstand stresses at their new rating levels. For transactions where the ratings have been confirmed, current asset performance and credit-support levels are consistent with the current ratings. The discontinued ratings are the result of full repayment of principal to bondholders.
The rating actions are a result of DBRS’s application of the “RMBS Insight 1.3: U.S. Residential Mortgage-Backed Securities Model and Rating Methodology,” published on April 4, 2017.
The transactions consist of U.S. ReREMIC and RMBS transactions. The pools backing these transactions consist of prime, subprime, seasoned reperforming, Alt-A, scratch and dent, option adjustable-rate mortgage and ReREMIC collateral.
The ratings assigned to the securities below differ from the ratings implied by the quantitative model. DBRS considers this difference to be a material deviation, but in this case, the ratings of the subject notes reflect structural features and/or historical performance that constrain the quantitative model output.
