Fitch Eyes GSAMP MBS Class

Class B-2 of GS Mortgage Securities Corp. residential mortgage pass-through certificates, series 2003-NC1, has been placed on Rating Watch Negative by Fitch Ratings.Fitch also affirmed the ratings on four other classes in the GSAMP transaction. The negative ration action was attributed to a deterioration in the relationship between credit enhancement and expected loss. Losses have exceeded excess spread in the past six months and eroded the overcollateralization to a point below its target level, Fitch reported. The collateral backing the deal consists of closed-end subprime mortgage loans secured by first and second liens on residential properties.
