KBRA Assigns Preliminary Ratings to Foursight Capital Automobile Receivables Trust 2021-1
NEW YORK–(BUSINESS WIRE)–Kroll Bond Rating Agency (KBRA) assigns preliminary ratings to six classes of notes issued by Foursight Capital Automobile Receivables Trust 2021-1 (“FCRT 2021-1”), an asset backed security collateralized by a pool of auto loans.
FCRT 2021-1 represents the ninth rated term ABS securitization for Foursight Capital LLC (“Foursight” or the “Company”) and the fourth rated by KBRA. FCRT 2021-1 will issue six classes of notes in an aggregate principal amount of $249.16 million. This transaction has a sequential pay structure and is backed primarily by a pool of near-prime automobile loan contracts that are secured by new and used vehicles. Credit enhancement consists of subordination (except for the Class F Notes), overcollateralization, a reserve account funded at closing and with each additional funding, and excess spread.
KBRA applied its Auto Loan ABS Global Rating Methodology and Global Structured Finance Counterparty Methodology as part of its analysis of the transaction’s underlying collateral pool, the proposed capital structure and Foursight’s historical static pool data. KBRA also conducted an operational assessment on the originator and servicer, as well as a review of the transaction’s legal structure and transaction documents. KBRA will also review the operative agreements and legal opinions for the transaction prior to closing.
