DBRS Morningstar Confirms Ratings on 18 Structured Settlements ABS Transactions

Other
June 22, 2021

DBRS, Inc. (DBRS Morningstar) confirmed the ratings on 35 securities issued by 18 U.S. structured settlements asset-backed securities (ABS) transactions outlined in the table below.

The rating actions are based on the following analytical considerations:

-- The transaction analysis considers DBRS Morningstar’s set of macroeconomic scenarios for select economies related to the Coronavirus Disease (COVID-19), available in its commentary “Global Macroeconomic Scenarios: June 2021 Update,” published on June 18, 2021. DBRS Morningstar initially published macroeconomic scenarios on April 16, 2020, that have been regularly updated. The scenarios were last updated on June 18, 2021, and are reflected in DBRS Morningstar’s rating analysis.

-- The assumptions consider the moderate macroeconomic scenario outlined in the commentary, with the moderate scenario serving as the primary anchor for current ratings. The moderate scenario factors in continued success in containment during the second half of 2021, enabling the continued relaxation of restrictions.

-- The generally high credit quality of annuity providers and their improved capitalization positions and risk management frameworks, which have been enhanced since the global financial crisis of 2008–09. DBRS Morningstar does not expect the performance of the structured settlements asset-backed securities (ABS) transactions to be materially affected by the coronavirus in the near term as a result of those factors. As a result, DBRS Morningstar did not adjust any analytical inputs to its analysis of the structured settlements ABS for any impact from the coronavirus pandemic.

-- The transaction parties’ capabilities with regard to origination, underwriting, and servicing.

-- The transaction’s capital structure, and form and sufficiency of available credit enhancement.

-- The transaction’s performance to date, with minimal defaults and losses.
