NEW YORK--(BUSINESS WIRE)--dv01, a leading capital markets fintech company, has today announced a strategic collaboration with Fitch Ratings, a globally recognized leader in credit ratings and research, to enhance RMBS benchmark offerings. The Fitch-dv01 Non-Agency RMBS Benchmarks constitute two benchmarks that focus on Non-QM and Prime Jumbo markets, aiming to redefine market analysis with the most comprehensive representation. This announcement marks the second initiative in a series of collaborations between dv01 and Fitch Ratings, following Fitch Group’s acquisition of the capital markets fintech company. The benchmarks are free to access via the dv01 web app and comprise loan-level data from deals where dv01 serves as the Loan Data Agent (“LDA”), Fitch-rated RMBS transactions and transactions where RMBS issuers opted to provide their data in support of this initiative. The RMBS markets traditionally operate in opacity, relying on replines and static data, and are witnessing a paradigm shift. The Fitch-dv01 Non-Agency RMBS Benchmarks bring a new level of transparency, providing stakeholders with unprecedented insights into the intricate details of the non-agency mortgage markets
