Over the last 25 years, just 1.06% of residential mortgage-backed securities rated by Standard & Poor's have defaulted, according to S&P officials who recently spoke about their 2002 rating transition study.

But a surprisingly large share of the defaults occurred last year, despite strong home price growth and record low interest rates.

Over the past 25 years, 114 S&P-rated classes of residential MBS transactions have defaulted. Twenty of those defaults occurred last year.

The 2002 defaults involved two prime credit quality deals, nine subprime, six nonperforming, two home improvement and one high-LTV transaction.

As previously reported in NMN, S&P upgraded 634 credit classes last year and downgraded 106.
