KBRA, a global full-service credit ratings firm, is pleased to announce it was recognized as Securitization Rating Agency of the Year by GlobalCapital at the publication’s annual U.S. Securitization Awards dinner held on September 15 in New York City.

“KBRA is excited to win this honor for the second year in a row,” Eric Thompson, Global Head of Structured Finance at KBRA, said. “It is humbling to be acknowledged by capital markets participants and is a testament to our focus on innovation, integrity, consistency, and best-in-class analysis—four hallmarks of KBRA’s approach since we issued our first rating in 2011. Our timely, comprehensive analysis and our accessibility to investors have been key parts of our formula for success since the inception of the firm.

“We look forward to evolving alongside the market, as we continue to provide rigorous, objective analysis.” Thompson said.

Since its founding in 2010, KBRA’s Structured Finance Group has rated several thousand transactions. Its core focus on intellectual curiosity and innovation has made the agency a market leader in the rating of several complex asset classes, including commercial asset-backed and esoteric transactions.

GlobalCapital is a leading news, opinion, and data service for people and institutions using and working in the international capital markets. The awards honor outstanding achievements in U.S. structured finance by banks, issuers, investors, law firms, rating agencies, and service providers.
