AUSTIN, Texas, Feb. 11, 2020 /PRNewswire/ -- Petros PACE Finance, LLC (www.petros-pace.com), the national leader in the Commercial Property Assessed Clean Energy (C-PACE) financing marketplace, announced today that it recently completed its seventh privately rated securitization on C-PACE assets from independent credit rating agency DBRS Morningstar.

This is the first rating on C-PACE assets under the new and recently released DBRS Morningstar rating methodology.

"These ratings are a testament to the strength of our underwriting platform and the growing importance of C-PACE as an asset class," said Petros PACE Finance Co-Founder and CFO Jim Stanislaus. "We are pleased with the new rating methodology for PACE assets from DBRS Morningstar. We are planning for continued exponential growth, so having a highly replicable, efficient process for completing these securitizations is critical."

Petros PACE Finance served as its own placement agent on the assets and as its own structuring agent on the rated transaction with DBRS Morningstar, using T-REX's software for the structuring and reporting along with a capital call line from ING.

"T-REX is committed to helping innovative firms pioneer complex areas of structured finance like C-PACE," said Scott Miller, CBDO of T-REX.
