The report outlines Fitch's methodology for analyzing residential mortgage-backed securities (RMBS) backed by RPLs and seasoned performing loans purchased in the secondary market and issued starting in 2014.

Changes to the report include disclosure of the assumptions for addressing due diligence findings and document exceptions for seasoned and RPL pools applied in Fitch's mortgage loan loss model. The disclosure will not impact existing ratings.
