NAIC Breakpoints for CAS 2019-R02
Fannie Mae announced today that its CAS 2019-R02 transaction has received NAIC breakpoints for the 2019 filing year.
In late 2018, Fannie Mae implemented its CAS REMIC® structure. CAS REMIC transactions are issued out of a bankruptcy remote trust, rather than as direct debt of Fannie Mae. The switch to issuance from a trust necessitated a review of the NAIC modeling process. In 2019, Fannie Mae requested that the NAIC Structured Securities Group (SSG) use the NAIC Approved Modeling Process to develop preliminary NAIC Designations and Breakpoints for a CAS REMIC transaction. Tranches of the CAS 2019-R02 issuance were used for this analysis. This was the first time the NAIC has applied its Approved Modeling Process to a CAS REMIC transaction.
