It is available via the dv01 web app and data feed.Powered by loan-level data from securitized deals where dv01 serves as Loan Data Agent ("LDA") and Fitch-rated transactions, the benchmark is a significant step toward greater transparency and standardization to second lien mortgages—an increasingly important segment as homeowners seek alternatives to refinancing in a high-rate, constrained-housing supply environment."Second lien mortgages are re-emerging as a crucial financing tool for homeowners, sparking renewed investor interest," stated Perry Rahbar, Founder and CEO of dv01.

Recent joint initiatives include: Interactive RMBS Presales , which provide dynamic deal analysis to the market, and the Fitch-dv01 Non-QM and Prime Jumbo Benchmarks , which have become essential tools for evaluating credit performance in their respective sectors. dv01 and Fitch will continue their shared commitment to delivering greater clarity and actionable intelligence across the mortgage market through future, planned collaborations."Closed-End Second Lien Mortgages are becoming a key component of housing finance. Understanding their performance is crucial for analyzing borrower behavior and overall credit quality," said Kevin Kendra, Managing Director and Head of North American RMBS at Fitch Ratings
