AMCAP Recently Added to S&P Select Servicer List

    BOCA RATON, Fla., March 10 /PRNewswire/ -- ABN AMRO Capital
Markets Group (AMCAP), a division of ABN AMRO Mortgage Group, Inc. (AAMG),
recently began offering Master Servicing services and was added to Standard &
Poor's (S&P) Select Servicer List.
    As a Master Servicer, AMCAP monitors the sellers of mortgage loans who
retain the related servicing rights and obligations.  AMCAP supports a loan
package securitization by collecting payments from one or more of its
underlying servicers, and remitting that payment to a trustee for distribution
to bondholders.
    "Master Servicing allows AMCAP to diversify AAMG's origination sources
beyond its traditional wholesale channel," said Maria Fregosi, AAMG group
senior vice president and capital markets manager.  "Additionally, when
production decreases, AMCAP becomes an increasingly important business channel
for AAMG.  Bulk acquisitions give AAMG additional economies of scale to sell
and securitize non-conforming mortgage products."
    Inclusion on S&P's Select Servicer List indicates that AMCAP performs its
Master Servicing duties in an effective and controlled manner, and is in
general compliance with investor, regulatory, and agency requirements.
Additionally, designation as a S&P Select Servicer indicates that AMCAP meets
the criteria for attaining at least an "average" S&P ranking with an outlook
of "stable."
    S&P admitted AMCAP to its Select Servicer List based on a comprehensive
assessment of AMCAP's operational capabilities for servicing residential
mortgages and asset-backed portfolios.  S&P's analysis included the
performance of AMCAP's management and organization, servicing administration,
and financial position.
