The Fitch weighted average rating factor, as calculated by the trustee, has increased to 29.7 from 26.7 over the past year and the Fitch weighted average recovery rate has decreased to 63.4 from 67.32. Fitch has adjusted the default timing in the cash flow model, as the current portfolio has a short tenor of 3.3 years. Fitch will require a minimum weighted average rating for the pool. The timing of total expected defaults is spread over a five-year period, with the bulk of the defaults (33% of the total amount) assumed to occur at the end of the first year. The standard loss curve used by Fitch is shown in the table above. As of the same date, the weighted average credit quality of the fund, as measured by Fitch's weighted average rating factor (WARF), was 0.151, which is in line with Fitch's 'AAA' fund credit rating criteria guidelines. ASSET MATURITY AND POOL LIQUIDITY: To calculate the weighted average rating factor on a CDO, the rating agencies must first determine a credit rating for each instrument underlying the CDO. In the Fitch Ratings taxonomy, for example, this rating can range from extremely high credit quality (AAA) to low quality (CCC) to default (D). The weighted average rating factor is a relatively simple way of achieving this. It involves first assigning a risk factor to each individual asset: in effect, an attempt to predict the statistical likelihood of the relevant borrower defaulting. These risk factor figures are then averaged using weighting. The weighted average credit rating is the weighted average rating of all the bonds in a bond fund. The measure gives investors an idea of a fund’s credit quality and helps to identify how risky a bond portfolio is overall. The lower the weighted average credit rating, the riskier the bond fund. WARF GGauges WARF (Weighted Average Rating Factor) is a measure of the average rating of the portfolio. Each rating in the underlying collateral pool is converted into a number between 1 and 10,000 and a weighted average of those numbers is then taken based on the par amount held by the CDO.

In the full sample, the average rating for Fitch IBCA is considerably higher than the heavy weight on bond ratings when determining the fair yield for a particular issue.

In line with its applicable rating criteria, Fitch reflects such higher concentration risk in its assessment and overall FCQR and NFCQR, resulting in a one notch downward adjustment to the WARF Weighted Average Moody’s Rating Factor means the number determined by summing the products obtained by multiplying the Maximum Principal Balance of each Collateral Loan by its Moody's Rating Factor, dividing such sum by the Aggregate Maximum Principal Balance of all such Collateral Loans and then rounding the result up to the nearest whole number. Weighted Average Rating Factor - WARF A measure that is used by credit rating companies to determine the credit quality of a portfolio. This measure allows rating companies to look at a portfolio as a single security, and assign it a single rating.WARFs are most often calculated by rating companies for collateralized debt obligations (CDOs).
Credit quality deteriorated slightly in its rated European CLOs as the average Fitch weighted average rating factor (WARF), average 'CCC' and at-risk portfolio exposure increased over the past quarter.

WARF GGauges WARF (Weighted Average Rating Factor) is a measure of the average rating of the portfolio. Each rating in the underlying collateral pool is converted into a number between 1 and 10,000 and a weighted average of those numbers is then taken based on the par amount held by the CDO. Exactly what the final weighted average rating factor figure represents may vary depending on who produces the ratings. One system, operated by ratings agency Moody's, uses ratings by which a score of 100 represents a 1% chance of default during 10 years, a score of 150 represents a 1.5% chance, and so on. Fitch will require a minimum weighted average rating for the pool.
