KBRA affirms all ratings for TruPS Financials Note Securitization 2019-2.

TFINS 2019-2 is a static cash flow CDO and will not allow for any reinvestments in the portfolio. The collateral consists of trust preferred securities (TruPS) issued by community and regional banks and their holding companies, along with TruPS, surplus notes, and bonds issued by insurance companies and their holding companies.

The portfolio at initial rating consisted of 60 assets from 56 obligors with a total collateral par value of$338.4 million and liabilities of $280.8 million. It now contains 49 obligors with a total performing par value of $269.6 million and liabilities of $214.8 million while $3.5 million of defaults were recognized as of the latest portfolio date.

Over the past year, liabilities dropped by $14.3 million and there is no deferred interest balance. The decrease in the Note balances can be attributed to the underlying asset prepayments. The deal maturity is on February 28, 2039.

Since last year, the K-PD, which adjusts for the asset tenor, changed from 8.0% to 8.7% while the WAL changed from 10.1 to 9.2 years. The current KWARF, 427, is in the BBB to BBB- range. We first rated the transaction when it closed on January 15, 2020.

The surveillance used information from the trustee report through the August 2025 payment date. All rated notes have received timely interest payments since the transaction closed.
