Fitch Updates U.S. RMBS Surveillance and Re-REMIC Criteria

NEW YORK--(BUSINESS WIRE)-- Link to Fitch Ratings' Report: U.S. RMBS Surveillance and Re-REMIC Criteria

https://www.fitchratings.com/creditdesk/reports/report_frame.cfm?rpt_id=866259

Fitch Ratings has published its annual update to the criteria to monitor and analyze outstanding U.S. RMBS for potential rating changes and Re-REMICs. The report discusses Fitch's asset loss analysis, cash flow analysis, and counterparty analysis.

Key revisions to the criteria include a loss severity adjustment for newly-issued re-REMIC transactions, a description of the surveillance process for GSE risk-sharing transactions, and greater transparency regarding several specific methodologies used in the surveillance process to determine credit ratings. Fitch does not expect any material rating implications as a result of the updated criteria.

The criteria report 'U.S. RMBS Surveillance and Re-REMIC Criteria' is available on the Fitch Ratings web site at 'www.fitchratings.com' or by clicking on the above link.
