Thirty-seven classes of subprime mortgage pass-through certificates issued by Asset Back Funding Corp. have been downgraded by Fitch Ratings as a result of changes to the rating agency's subprime loss forecasting assumptions. Fitch also affirmed the ratings on classes with outstanding balances of $1.4 billion. The rating actions were attributed to changes in Fitch's subprime loss forecasting assumptions that "better capture the deteriorating performance of pools from 2006 and late 2005 with regard to continued poor loan performance and home price weakness."
