NEW YORK–(BUSINESS WIRE)–#creditratingagency–KBRA assigns preliminary ratings to six classes of notes issued by Avant Loans Funding Trust 2026-REV1 (“AVNT 2026-REV1”), an unsecured consumer loan ABS transaction. AVNT 2026-REV1 has initial hard credit enhancement levels of 67.38% for the Class A Notes to 3.24% for the Class F Notes. Credit enhancement consists of overcollateralization, yield supplement overcollateralization, subordination (except for the Class F Notes), a cash reserve account funded at closing, and excess spread.

This transaction represents Avant, LLC’s (“Avant”, or the “Company”) first rated securitization of 2026 and its 17th overall. AVNT 2026-REV1 will issue six classes of notes totaling $200.0 million, collateralized by a trust certificate backed by unsecured consumer loans originated through Avant’s online marketplace lending platform (“Avant Platform”). The transaction has a three-month prefunding period, during which approximately $3.7 million of loans are expected to be acquired. Additionally, during the two-year revolving period, which includes the three-month prefunding period, additional loans are expected to be acquired periodically.

Founded in 2012, Avant is located in Chicago, Illinois and operates an online lending platform, which offers unsecured personal loans and credit cards primarily to non-prime consumers through the Avant Platform. Avant’s typical unsecured personal loan borrowers have FICO scores between 550 and 720, an original term of 12 to 60 months, an original balance of $1,000 to $35,000, and a fixed APRs ranging from 9.95% to 36.00%. The Avant Platform charges an upfront administration fee to borrowers ranging from 1.50% to 9.99%. Loans are typically used for debt consolidation, emergency expenses, life events, or car repair purposes.

KBRA applied its Consumer Loan ABS Global Rating Methodology, as well as its Global Structured Finance Counterparty Methodology and ESG Global Rating Methodology as part of its analysis of the portfolio pool data, underlying collateral pool and capital structure. KBRA considered its operational reviews of Avant, as well as periodic update calls with the Company. Operative agreements and legal opinions will be reviewed prior to closing.

BlackRock boosts AI and US equity exposure in $185 billion models

BlackRock boosts AI and US equity exposure in $185 billion models

The post BlackRock boosts AI and US equity exposure in $185 billion models appeared on BitcoinEthereumNews.com. BlackRock is steering $185 billion worth of model portfolios deeper into US stocks and artificial intelligence. The decision came this week as the asset manager adjusted its entire model suite, increasing its equity allocation and dumping exposure to international developed markets. The firm now sits 2% overweight on stocks, after money moved between several of its biggest exchange-traded funds. This wasn’t a slow shuffle. Billions flowed across multiple ETFs on Tuesday as BlackRock executed the realignment. The iShares S&P 100 ETF (OEF) alone brought in $3.4 billion, the largest single-day haul in its history. The iShares Core S&P 500 ETF (IVV) collected $2.3 billion, while the iShares US Equity Factor Rotation Active ETF (DYNF) added nearly $2 billion. The rebalancing triggered swift inflows and outflows that realigned investor exposure on the back of performance data and macroeconomic outlooks. BlackRock raises equities on strong US earnings The model updates come as BlackRock backs the rally in American stocks, fueled by strong earnings and optimism around rate cuts. In an investment letter obtained by Bloomberg, the firm said US companies have delivered 11% earnings growth since the third quarter of 2024. Meanwhile, earnings across other developed markets barely touched 2%. That gap helped push the decision to drop international holdings in favor of American ones. Michael Gates, lead portfolio manager for BlackRock’s Target Allocation ETF model portfolio suite, said the US market is the only one showing consistency in sales growth, profit delivery, and revisions in analyst forecasts. “The US equity market continues to stand alone in terms of earnings delivery, sales growth and sustainable trends in analyst estimates and revisions,” Michael wrote. He added that non-US developed markets lagged far behind, especially when it came to sales. This week’s changes reflect that position. The move was made ahead of the Federal…
