Residential home improvement loans that fund home performance projects including upgrades, windows and doors, water efficiency, generators and roofs will support $389 million in asset-backed securities (ABS), in a deal slated to come to market at the end of the month.

This is GoodLeap Home Improvement Solutions Trust's second transaction this year after it raised about $408.9 million in April, through series 2026-1.

Bank of America is sponsoring the deal, which will issue notes through three tranches of class A, B and C notes, which all have a legal final maturity date of July 20, 2050.

BofA Securities is among the initial purchasers and placement agents, which includes CIBC World Markets, Citigroup Global Markets and GoldmanSachs, according to KBRA.

Analysts at Kroll Bond Rating Agency expect a lifetime cumulative net loss (CNL) of 9.90%, a level that is 0.21% lower than what the ratings team projected for GDLP 2026-1.

GDLP 2026-2 also has lower levels of initial credit enhancement compared to GDLP 2026-1, at 6.12% versus 5.74%; overcollateralization at 23.90% versus 24.92% and total gross excess spread of 5.55% versus 5.98%, according to KBRA.

Broken down by tranches, classes A, B and C benefit from levels of 21.37%, 15.27% and 6.2%, respectively.

Fitch Ratings analysts say the deal structure employs a CNL trigger, which will change the payment priority to a sequential turbo for classes A, B and C notes.

The collateral pool is composed of 34,515 loans, which have an average loan size of $12,515, and an original term of 151 on a weighted average (WA) basis.

GDLP 2026-2's assets has a remaining term of 149 months.

Borrowers have a FICO score on a WA basis, Fitch said. The pool appears to be more geographically diverse, with Texas, California and Florida account for 11.6%, 9.88% and 8.19% of the pool, respectively.

GoodLeap will service the contracts, while Vervent is on the transaction as a backup servicer, Fitch said.

Fitch assigns A-, BBB- and BB- to classes A, B and C, respectively, and KBRA also assigns A-, BBB and BB- to classes A, B, and C, respectively.
