DBRS Morningstar Publishes Updated Rating European Structured Finance Transactions Methodology and Appendices

DBRS Morningstar published an updated version of its “Rating European Structured Finance Transactions Methodology” (the Methodology) and the following three appendices to the Methodology:

-- Appendix 1: European Reverse Mortgages;
-- Appendix 2: Obligations Backed by Insurance Policy (Financial Guarantee); and
-- Appendix 3: Dual-Recourse Securities.

DBRS Morningstar has conducted a periodic review of the Methodology and the appendices. These updates supersede the previous versions published on 19 May 2022 and are effective as of 15 July 2022.
