KBRA Releases Research – Distressed Bank Exposure in RMBS 2.0

NEW YORK--(BUSINESS WIRE)--KBRA releases a report on distressed bank exposure in RMBS 2.0 securitizations overall and within KBRA’s rated universe.

Concern around systemwide stress among U.S. regional banks has been a topic of discussion for market constituents in recent weeks, particularly given the role some institutions have played in mortgage servicing. RMBS 2.0 private label securitizations (PLS)—which include prime, non-prime, and government-sponsored enterprise (GSE) credit risk transfer (CRT) securitizations—appear to be weathering the storm, and do not currently have outsized exposures that would be expected to cause negative credit rating drift in KBRA-rated transactions.
