[Editor’s note: This is a white paper from Diana Lande, Vice President, Asset-Backed Securities at Morningstar. Morningstar is a Silver sponsor at LendIt USA 2016, which will take place on April 11-12, 2016, in San Francisco. At LendIt, Diana will be moderating the representations and warranties panel.]
The perceived deficiency in representations and warranties offering transparency around credit quality, origination, and servicing is an often-mentioned barrier to mainstream rated marketplace-lending securitization.
