Kroll Bond Rating Agency (KBRA) assigns preliminary ratings to 42 classes of mortgage pass-through certificates from PSMC 2020-1 Trust (PSMC 2020-1), a prime jumbo RMBS transaction jointly sponsored by subsidiaries of American International Group, Inc. (AIG).
The PSMC 2020-1 pool comprises 602 first-lien, prime residential mortgage loans with an aggregate principal balance of $430,416,764 as of the cut-off date. The collateral consists of 30-year fully-amortizing, fixed rate mortgages (FRMs). The pool is characterized by significant borrower equity in each mortgaged property, as evidenced by the WA original LTV of 69.7% and WA original CLTV of 69.9%. The weighted average original credit score is 775, which is well within the prime mortgage range.
KBRA’s rating approach incorporated loan-level analysis of the mortgage pool through its Residential Mortgage Default and Loss Model, an examination of the results from third-party loan file due diligence, cash flow modeling analysis of the transaction’s payment structure, reviews of key transaction parties and an assessment of the transaction’s legal structure and documentation. This analysis is further described in our U.S. RMBS Rating Methodology.
