New York, March 12, 2010 -- Moody's Investors Service has placed 40 RMBS resecuritization tranches
with current outstanding balance of $500 million, on watch
for possible downgrade. The rating is triggered by a downgrade
watch on the underlying ratings of the securities backing these resecuritization
tranches.
On Jan 27, 2010, Moody's placed 2,553 tranches
of Option Arm RMBS issued between 2005 and 2007 on review for possible
downgrade due to an upward revision of loss projections on collateral
backing these transactions. On average, Moody's is now projecting
cumulative losses of 20% for 2005 securitizations, 41%
for 2006 securitizations and 51% for 2007 securitizations,
reported as a percentage of original balance.
On Jan 14, 2010, Moody's placed 10,330 tranches
of alt-a RMBS issued between 2005 and 2007 on review for possible
downgrade due to an upward revision of loss projections on collateral
backing these transactions. On average, Moody's is
now projecting cumulative losses of 14% for 2005 alt-a securitizations,
29% for 2006 alt-a securitizations, 35% for
2007 alt-a securitizations reported as a percentage of original
balance.
On Dec 17, 2009, Moody's placed 4474 tranches of jumbo
RMBS issued between 2005 and 2008 on review for possible downgrade due
to an upward revision of loss projections on collateral backing these
transactions. On average, Moody's is now projecting
cumulative losses of 3.8% for 2005 jumbo securitizations,
8.0% for 2006 jumbo securitizations, 10.9%
for 2007 jumbo securitizations and 12.3% for 2008 jumbo
securitizations reported as a percentage of original balance.
On Jan 13, 2010, Moody's placed 5,698 tranches
of subprime RMBS issued between 2005 and 2007 on review for possible downgrade
due to an upward revision of loss projections on collateral backing these
transactions. On average, Moody's is now projecting
cumulative losses of 18.7% for 2005 subprime securitizations,
38.4% for 2006 subprime securitizations, 48.1%
for 2007 subprime securitizations reported as a percentage of original
balance.
Most resecuritization deals are structured as pass-through structures
with payments received on the underlying certificates passed through to
the resecuritization bonds. However, the resecuritization
deals typically build-in additional support for the senior bonds
issued in the transaction with certain junior bonds taking losses ahead
of the senior bonds. Increased losses on the underlying certificates
are thus likely to affect the principal recovery on the junior resecuritization
bonds and probably the senior resecuritization bonds as well.
As such, in assigning ratings on the notes in the resecuritization,
Moody's evaluates:
(i) The updated expected loss of the pool of loans backing the underlying
securities portfolio and the updated ratings on the underlying securities
portfolio given credit enhancement available to them, and
(iii) The structure of the resecuritization transaction, including
the cashflow allocation and the loss allocation amongst the bonds issued.
Because the ratings on the notes in the resecuritization are linked to
the ratings on the underlying securities and their mortgage pool performance,
any rating action on the underlying securities may trigger a further review
of the ratings on the notes in the resecuritization. The ratings
on the notes in the resecuritization address the ultimate payment of promised
interest and principal and do not address any other amounts that may be
payable on the notes.
Other methodologies and factors that may have been considered in the process
of rating this issuer can be found in the Rating Methodologies sub-directory
on Moody's website.
