KBRA To Leverage T-REX Platform for Private Credit ABS Data Services

KBRA is pleased to announce that it will partner with fintech firm T-REX to further build its data infrastructure that supports the growth of private credit ABS. The multiyear collaboration will leverage T-REX’s technology to enhance KBRA processes used to conduct its surveillance as well as create comprehensive deal reports and research. This innovative partnership will result in improved efficiencies, streamlined workflows, and more powerful data, freeing analysts to focus on their core mission of providing well-informed, timely credit ratings.

“Securitizations done in the private credit market may help to facilitate liquidity in the marketplace and potentially benefit investors who may be able to better influence transaction features to meet their needs relative to public and 144A deals”

The partnership with T-REX is especially well timed, as KBRA anticipates continued growth in private capital, and expects its role in the structured finance market to increase. In 2022, private credit deals represented a larger portion of the overall ABS market, a trend that has continued through the first half of this year.

KBRA believes the growing trend towards the use of private credit in ABS is a positive for the market. “Securitizations done in the private credit market may help to facilitate liquidity in the marketplace and potentially benefit investors who may be able to better influence transaction features to meet their needs relative to public and 144A deals,” Thompson said.
