Fitch also affirmed the rating on one other class in the deal. E*Trade I is a static cash flow collateralized debt obligation backed by collateral consisting of asset-backed securities, residential mortgage-backed securities, commercial mortgage-backed securities, and other CDOs. The downgrades were attributed to collateral deterioration and decreased credit enhancement.
