NEW YORK--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Fitch Ratings has updated its criteria for analyzing 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 more detailed explanation of Fitch's methodology for monitoring transactions backed by reverse mortgages and an update to its cash flow delinquency trigger assumption, reflecting recent updates to Fitch's 'U.S. RMBS Cash Flow Analysis Criteria'. Fitch does not expect any material rating implications as a result of the updated criteria.
