KBRA Assigns Preliminary Ratings to Marlette Funding Trust 2023-1

KBRA assigns preliminary ratings to four classes of notes issued by Marlette Funding Trust 2023-1 (“MFT 2023-1”), a $303.713 million consumer loan ABS transaction.

The ratings reflect initial credit enhancement levels of 51.26% for the Class A Notes to 15.67% for the Class D Notes. Credit enhancement consists of overcollateralization, subordination (in the case of the Class A, Class B, and Class C Notes) a reserve account funded at closing, and excess spread.

Founded in 2013 in Wilmington, DE, Marlette Funding, LLC (“Marlette”) operates an online marketplace lending platform, that offers personal installment loans under the Best Egg brand (www.BestEgg.com) (the “Marlette Best Egg Platform” or the “Platform”) that are included in this securitization. This transaction is the 20th securitization sponsored by Marlette and the second with Best Egg Secured Loans. The first multi-seller securitization issued from Marlette Funding Trust (“MFT”) was in August 2016. Under the multi-seller securitization program, Marlette is the Sponsor and the collateral is contributed from Marlette and whole loan buyers of loans originated through the Platform.

KBRA applied its Consumer Loan ABS Global Rating Methodology, Global Structured Finance Counterparty Methodology and ESG Global Rating Methodology as part of its analysis of the transaction’s underlying collateral pool, the proposed capital structure. KBRA also conducted an operational assessment of the Marlette Platform, as well as a review of the transaction’s legal structure and transaction documents. Operative agreements and legal opinions will be reviewed prior to closing.
