The year-end 2019 results of NAIC Structured Securities Group (SSG) analysis for STACR REMIC Trust 2019-HQA4 is expected within the next few weeks.

In a STACR REMIC Trust structure, notes are issued by a trust that is treated as a Real Estate Mortgage Investment Conduit (REMIC). The trust pays interest (uncapped LIBOR floater) and principal (less credit and/or modification losses) to noteholders on a monthly basis. The performance of the STACR REMIC Trust securities is dependent upon the credit and prepayment performance of the reference obligations.
