Fitch Ratings affirms both classes of notes on Elara HGV Timeshare Trust, 2014-A. A full list of rating actions follows at the end of this ratings action commentary.
KEY RATING DRIVERS
The affirmations to both classes of notes reflect performance within Fitch's initial expectation, growth in hard credit enhancement (CE) since close, and available loss coverage consistent with the current ratings. The Stable Rating Outlooks reflect Fitch's expectation that the notes will remain sufficiently enhanced to cover the stressed loss levels consistent with the current ratings.
RATING SENSITIVITIES
Unanticipated increases in the frequency of defaults could produce loss levels higher than the current expectations and impact available loss coverage. Lower loss coverage could impact ratings and Rating Outlooks, depending on the extent of the decline in coverage.
To date, the transaction has exhibited performance within Fitch's initial expectations with rising loss coverage. Due to the growth in credit enhancement levels and increased loss coverage afforded to the notes, a substantial increase in defaults would have to occur to have a negative impact on the updated ratings.
DUE DILIGENCE USAGE
No third party due diligence was provided or reviewed in relation to this rating action.
