MOODY'S RATES CHL MORTGAGE PASS-THROUGH TRUST, SERIES 2002-J5 Aaa
Approximately $532.5 Million of Mortgage-Backed Securities Rated.
New York, January 23, 2003 -- Moody's Investors Service has assigned a rating of Aaa to the senior certificates
in Countrywide Home Loan's 2002-J5 securitization of prime-quality
mortgages.
According to Moody's analyst Marjan Riggi, the ratings are based
on the credit quality of the collateral pool, credit enhancement
provided by subordination, the legal structure of the transaction
and Countrywide's ability as the servicer of the loans.
The aggregate loan pool consists of three separate groups as follows:
Group 1 and 3 consist of 30-year fixed rate mortgages and Group
2 consists of 15-year fixed-rate mortgages. The loans
were purchased by Countrywide from various originators. The underlying
mortgage loans backing the 2002-J5 transaction are similar to loans
originated under Countrywide Standard Guidelines (for jumbo loans).
The weighted average credit scores and weighted average LTVs of both pools
are similar to Countrywide's most recent prime-quality pools.
The aggregate pool also benefits from having few loans with LTVs greater
than 80% and substantially all of these loans have borrower-paid
mortgage insurance coverage. Nearly 97% of the properties
for the aggregate pool are occupied as primary residences. In addition,
approximately 95% of the homes for the combined pools are single
family units or planned unit developments. In general, such
loans have lower default rates. The aggregate pool is geographically
diverse with less than half of the loans residing in California.
The complete rating actions are as follows:
