The Form ABS-15G dataset contains every ABS-15G and ABS-15G/A filing submitted to SEC EDGAR under Rules 15Ga-1 and 15Ga-2 of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, from January 2012 through the present — over 121,000 filings totaling approximately 10.6 GB compressed. Each record preserves the complete filing as submitted, including the primary form text and all associated exhibits (due diligence reports, accountant reports, repurchase request tables), packaged as a ZIP container holding original HTML, PDF, TXT, JPG, and GIF files. The dataset covers both Part I filings (representations and warranties repurchase request disclosures under Rule 15Ga-1) and Part II filings (third-party due diligence reports under Rule 15Ga-2), encompassing all reported items: 1.01 (initial reports), 1.02 (periodic reports), 1.03 (termination notices), 2.01 (due diligence findings), and 2.02 (independent accountant reports). Form ABS-15G was created by the SEC as a direct regulatory response to the 2007-2008 financial crisis, implementing Sections 943 and 945 of the Dodd-Frank Wall Street Reform and Consumer Protection Act. The dataset is survivorship-bias-free, updated daily, and designed for structured finance research, compliance monitoring, litigation support, securitization analytics, and bulk data extraction.

Entities are distinguished by role (e.g., "Depositor" vs. "Filer").seriesAndClassesContractsInformation — Array of series/class information (typically empty).Form ABS-15G is the SEC's disclosure vehicle for two distinct post-financial-crisis transparency mandates in the asset-backed securities market:
Part I — Representations and Warranties Disclosure (Rule 15Ga-1): Securitizers of asset-backed securities must report on requests to repurchase assets from ABS pools due to alleged breaches of representations and warranties. For each ABS transaction, the filing discloses the number and dollar amount of repurchase requests received, fulfilled, denied, pending, and withdrawn during the reporting period. Section 943 of the Dodd-Frank Act mandated this reporting to address the opacity surrounding representation and warranty enforcement — a central failure of the 2007-2008 financial crisis, during which investors discovered they had limited visibility into whether securitizers were honoring their contractual repurchase obligations.
Part II — Third-Party Due Diligence Reports (Rule 15Ga-2): Issuers or underwriters of ABS must furnish third-party due diligence reports prepared in connection with ABS offerings. The filing includes findings and conclusions of the due diligence provider on a loan-level or pool-level basis, the scope and methodology of the review, and the report of an independent public accountant on the due diligence provider's findings. Section 945 of the Dodd-Frank Act mandated this disclosure to ensure that independent asset-quality reviews are publicly available before investors commit capital to new securitizations.
Each record corresponds to one ABS-15G or ABS-15G/A filing, identified by its accessionNo and packaged as a ZIP container holding the original filing documents as submitted on EDGAR. The formType field indicates whether the filing is an original (ABS-15G) or amendment (ABS-15G/A), and the items array specifies which reportable items are included.
Part I filings report structured repurchase request activity for outstanding ABS transactions. The three reportable items are:
Item 1.01 — Initial Report of Representations and Warranties: Filed upon first issuance of an ABS transaction. Identifies the securitizer, the ABS transaction name, the CIK number of the depositor, and the asset class — residential mortgage-backed securities (RMBS), commercial mortgage-backed securities (CMBS), auto loans/leases, credit cards, student loans, equipment, floorplan, or other. Provides initial information about the representations and warranties structure embedded in the transaction documents.
Item 1.02 — Periodic Report: Filed quarterly by Exchange Act reporting companies or annually by non-reporting securitizers. Provides cumulative repurchase request history for each outstanding ABS transaction in standardized tabular format: the name of each ABS transaction; the number and dollar amount of assets subject to repurchase demand; the number and dollar amount of requests fulfilled, denied, pending at period-end, and withdrawn. These tables are the core quantitative output of Part I and constitute the only publicly available standardized data on representation and warranty enforcement across the securitization market.
Item 1.03 — Notice of Termination of Reporting Obligation: Filed when a securitizer's reporting obligation terminates for a particular ABS transaction or all outstanding transactions — typically because the pool has fully amortized, the trust has been dissolved, or the securitizer no longer meets the reporting threshold.
Part II filings are furnished in connection with ABS offerings and contain:
Item 2.01 — Findings and Conclusions of Third-Party Due Diligence Report: Identifies the issuer or underwriter, the due diligence provider, and the review scope. Substantive content typically appears in EX-99 series exhibits and includes: the number and percentage of assets reviewed; methodology employed (re-underwriting, compliance review, valuation review, data integrity check); loan-level or stratified findings; exception rates and categories; cure or waiver rates; and the provider's conclusions regarding conformity with representations and warranties. For RMBS transactions, findings commonly address credit qualification defects, property valuation discrepancies, regulatory compliance exceptions, and documentation deficiencies.
Item 2.02 — Report of Independent Public Accountant: An independent accountant's report assessing whether the due diligence provider's findings and conclusions were prepared in accordance with its described procedures and methodology. This is an agreed-upon procedures (AUP) engagement, not an audit opinion.
EX-99 series exhibits: The primary vehicle for substantive Part II content. These exhibits contain the full third-party due diligence report — detailed findings tables, methodology descriptions, exception analyses, conclusions, and loan-level or stratified results. Reports can run dozens to hundreds of pages for large securitizations with granular loan-level findings.
EX-99.1: Typically the due diligence provider's report on reviewed assets.
EX-99.2: Typically the independent public accountant's report on the due diligence findings.
Other exhibits: May include representations and warranties comparison tables, review scope documents, and supplemental data files.
ABS-15G/A filings amend previously filed ABS-15G reports — correcting errors, updating information, or supplementing prior disclosures. The dataset includes both original filings and all amendments, preserving the complete filing history.
Included: Full original filing text as submitted on EDGAR; all exhibits (EX-99 series, accountant reports, due diligence reports) in their original formats (HTML, PDF, TXT); supporting images (JPG, GIF) where present; complete filing container content.
Excluded: EDGAR index headers and metadata beyond what appears in the filing document; standalone XML/XBRL data files where applicable; content from separate SEC filings referenced by but not attached to the ABS-15G.
Dual-purpose form: ABS-15G serves two fundamentally different functions — Part I covers ongoing repurchase request reporting, Part II covers one-time pre-offering due diligence disclosure. A single filing may contain only Part I items, only Part II items, or both. The dataset therefore encompasses both periodic compliance reports and transaction-specific offering disclosures within the same form type.
Tabular vs. narrative content: Part I filings are highly structured and tabular, with standardized repurchase request tables that lend themselves to automated extraction. Part II filings are more narrative and variable, with due diligence reports differing substantially by asset class, provider, and review scope.
Asset class variation: Content and complexity vary significantly by asset class. RMBS filings tend to be the most detailed, reflecting heightened post-crisis scrutiny of residential mortgage securitization. CMBS, auto, credit card, student loan, CLO, and equipment ABS filings each have distinct disclosure patterns, terminology, and typical due diligence methodologies.
PDF-heavy content: Many due diligence reports and accountant reports are filed as PDF exhibits rather than HTML or TXT. The dataset preserves these in original format, which requires PDF parsing for automated extraction.
Filing volume composition: The majority of ABS-15G filings are Part I periodic reports (Item 1.02) from large bank securitizers reporting on legacy and current RMBS and other ABS pools. Part II due diligence report filings are fewer but individually more substantive, often containing extensive exhibit content.
Form ABS-15G filers divide into two categories corresponding to the form's two parts.
Part I filers — Securitizers: Any entity serving as a securitizer of asset-backed securities must file Part I reports. Under Rule 15Ga-1, a "securitizer" means the depositor of the asset-backed securities, or the sponsor if the sponsor initiates the securitization transaction by selling or transferring assets to the issuing entity. The filing population includes:
Large bank holding companies and their subsidiaries — Major financial institutions such as JPMorgan Chase, Bank of America, Wells Fargo, Citigroup, and Goldman Sachs that sponsor and deposit RMBS, CMBS, credit card receivables securitizations, auto loan and lease securitizations, and other ABS transactions. These institutions dominate the Part I filing volume due to their large legacy securitization books.
Specialty finance companies — Non-bank lenders and specialty originators that securitize auto loans and leases (Ally Financial, Capital One Auto Finance, AmeriCredit/GM Financial), student loans, equipment loans and leases, and consumer credit receivables.
Government-sponsored enterprises — Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac file ABS-15G reports for their agency MBS securitization activities. Their filings are among the largest by transaction count in Part I.
Asset managers and CLO managers — Collateralized loan obligation managers that sponsor CLO transactions and meet the securitizer definition file Part I reports on their CLO shelves.
Conduit lenders and CMBS sponsors — Commercial real estate lending platforms that originate and securitize commercial mortgage loans into CMBS transactions.
Part II filers — Issuers and Underwriters of ABS: Entities that issue or underwrite asset-backed securities in registered offerings or certain exempt transactions must furnish third-party due diligence reports under Rule 15Ga-2. These include the ABS issuing entity (typically represented by the depositor or sponsor) and the underwriting investment banks serving as lead managers or co-managers.
Item 1.01 (Initial Report): Triggered when a securitizer issues a new ABS transaction.
Item 1.02 (Periodic Report): Filed on a calendar-quarter basis by Exchange Act reporting companies (deadline: 45 days after quarter-end) or on a calendar-year basis by non-reporting securitizers (deadline: 90 days after year-end). Each report covers cumulative repurchase request activity for all of the securitizer's outstanding ABS transactions.
Item 1.03 (Termination Notice): Filed when the reporting obligation terminates — because all pool assets have been repaid, the trust has been dissolved, or the securitizer has no outstanding ABS transactions requiring reporting.
Item 2.01 (Due Diligence Report): Furnished not later than five business days prior to the first sale of securities in an ABS offering.
Item 2.02 (Accountant Report): Furnished concurrently with the Item 2.01 filing.
Part I periodic filings cluster around regulatory deadlines: mid-February, mid-May, mid-August, and mid-November for quarterly filers; late March for annual filers. Part II filings track ABS new-issuance volume and increase during active securitization markets. The dataset begins January 2012, the compliance date for Rules 15Ga-1 and 15Ga-2.
Section 943 of the Dodd-Frank Act — Required the SEC to adopt rules mandating securitizers to disclose fulfilled and unfulfilled repurchase requests.
Section 945 of the Dodd-Frank Act — Required the SEC to adopt rules mandating issuers of ABS to perform and disclose a review of the underlying assets.
Rule 15Ga-1 (17 CFR 240.15Ga-1) — Implements Section 943. Requires securitizers to file periodic repurchase request reports on Form ABS-15G. Adopted in SEC Release No. 33-9175 (January 2011).
Rule 15Ga-2 (17 CFR 240.15Ga-2) — Implements Section 945. Requires issuers or underwriters to furnish third-party due diligence reports on Form ABS-15G. Adopted in SEC Release No. 34-72936 (August 2014).
Regulation AB (Regulation AB II) — The broader ABS regulatory framework. Rules 15Ga-1 and 15Ga-2 operate alongside but independently of Regulation AB, with their own filing form and deadlines.
Form ABS-EE provides standardized, machine-readable asset-level data for asset-backed securities under Regulation AB II — loan characteristics, performance metrics, property data, and borrower attributes for each asset in a securitization pool, updated on an ongoing basis. ABS-15G provides disclosure about repurchase request enforcement activity (Part I) and pre-offering due diligence findings (Part II). Both forms frequently cover the same ABS transactions, but from entirely different angles: ABS-EE is a structured data feed for ongoing pool surveillance; ABS-15G is a compliance and disclosure filing addressing warranty enforcement and origination quality review.
Form 10-D is the periodic distribution report filed by ABS issuers under Regulation AB. It reports pool performance, payment waterfall distributions, servicer advances, delinquency and loss data, and trigger test results for each payment period. ABS-15G Part I addresses only repurchase request activity — a distinct category that 10-D does not separately report. The two forms are complementary: 10-D covers ongoing cash flow and credit performance; ABS-15G covers origination-quality accountability.
Forms SF-1 and SF-3 are the registration statement forms for public offerings of asset-backed securities, containing the prospectus and full offering documentation. ABS-15G Part II due diligence reports are furnished in connection with these offerings but on a separate form and filing timeline. The registration statement describes deal structure and terms; the ABS-15G due diligence report provides an independent assessment of the underlying asset pool quality.
Part I is backward-looking: it reports cumulative repurchase request activity for outstanding securitizations. Part II is forward-looking: it provides independent third-party assessment of asset quality for a new offering. A user studying warranty enforcement trends works with Part I; a user evaluating pre-securitization due diligence practices works with Part II. Both coexist in this dataset on the same form type.
Commercial platforms (Intex, Bloomberg, Moody's Analytics, Trepp) provide structured deal models and surveillance analytics but do not typically reproduce the original ABS-15G filing text, exhibits, or due diligence reports. This dataset provides the source documents — enabling direct extraction of repurchase request tables, due diligence findings, exception rates, and accountant reports in their original form. The dataset is complete for all ABS-15G filings on EDGAR and survivorship-bias-free.
Broad EDGAR datasets contain all form types and require filtering across the entire corpus. This dataset is pre-filtered to ABS-15G and ABS-15G/A, providing direct access to the specialized universe of ABS representation and warranty and due diligence disclosure without processing millions of unrelated filings.
Structured finance analysts at banks, rating agencies, and investment firms use Part I filings to track repurchase request activity across securitization shelves. They monitor which securitizers face elevated repurchase demands, assess fulfillment rates, and identify asset classes or vintages with higher dispute levels.
Rating analysts at Moody's, S&P, Fitch, KBRA, and DBRS use Part I repurchase request data to signal warranty breach frequency for loss projections and credit enhancement assessments. Part II due diligence reports inform initial rating assumptions about expected losses and originator quality.
Attorneys use Part I filings as evidence in put-back litigation — actions to compel repurchase of non-conforming loans — tracking demand volumes, fulfillment rates, and denial patterns. For transactional work, lawyers review Part II due diligence reports as precedent when structuring due diligence requirements and drafting representations and warranties provisions.
Buy-side investors in RMBS, CMBS, CLOs, auto ABS, and other securitized products use Part I data to evaluate originator risk and Part II due diligence reports to assess pool quality before committing capital to new securitizations.
Compliance teams at securitizing institutions verify reporting accuracy, benchmark against peers, and prepare for regulatory examinations. Risk officers use repurchase request trends to quantify representation and warranty liability exposure.
SEC staff monitor ABS-15G filings to assess the effectiveness of post-crisis transparency requirements. Aggregate data reveals whether representation and warranty enforcement mechanisms function as intended under Dodd-Frank.
Finance and law scholars study warranty enforcement effectiveness, moral hazard in originate-to-distribute models, the relationship between due diligence scope and deal performance, and the evolution of put-back litigation patterns.
Quant teams extract repurchase request counts, dollar amounts, and fulfillment rates for securitization credit risk models. NLP pipelines parse due diligence exhibits to extract exception rates, findings categories, and methodology details for systematic cross-deal comparison.
Structured finance analysts and quantitative researchers extract Item 1.02 periodic report tables to build longitudinal datasets of repurchase request activity by securitizer, asset class, and vintage. By tracking the number and dollar amount of requests received, fulfilled, denied, pending, and withdrawn over time, analysts identify securitizers with rising warranty dispute rates, compare denial rates across institutions, and detect shifts in representation and warranty enforcement intensity. This analysis supports originator quality scoring, counterparty risk assessment, and early identification of systematic origination defects.
ABS investors review Part II due diligence reports before committing capital to new securitizations. The reports provide independent findings on exception rates, credit qualification defects, property valuation discrepancies, regulatory compliance exceptions, and documentation deficiencies. Comparing exception rates across deals within the same asset class allows investors to assess relative pool quality, identify originators with consistently higher or lower defect rates, and calibrate loss assumptions against independent review findings.
Securities litigators use Part I filings as a public evidence source in representation and warranty put-back cases. Standardized repurchase request tables provide transaction-level data on demand volumes, fulfillment rates, and denial patterns that establish a securitizer's track record of honoring or resisting repurchase obligations. Counsel compare repurchase activity across a securitizer's transactions to demonstrate systematic breach patterns or evaluate the likely outcome of pending demands.
SEC examiners and financial stability researchers aggregate Part I data across all securitizers to construct market-wide indicators of warranty enforcement activity. Aggregate fulfilled and denied repurchase volumes by asset class and period reveal whether Dodd-Frank transparency mandates have increased accountability. Regulators also review Part II filings to assess industry-wide due diligence rigor — review scope, methodology, and exception-handling — to identify systemic weaknesses in pre-securitization quality control.
Due diligence providers, issuers, and underwriters use Part II filings to benchmark review methodologies across the industry. Extracting and comparing review scope (percentage of assets sampled), due diligence categories (re-underwriting, compliance review, valuation review, data integrity), and reported exception rates across providers and asset classes establishes baseline expectations for due diligence rigor and informs engagement scoping for new transactions.
Quantitative researchers build originator quality models by combining Part I repurchase request data (warranty breach frequency by securitizer) with Part II due diligence exception rates (origination defect rates at securitization). Linking repurchase demand patterns to due diligence findings across common originators creates a multi-signal view of originator quality for credit risk pricing, credit enhancement calibration, and portfolio selection.
Finance and law researchers use the dataset to study whether Dodd-Frank repurchase reporting changed securitizer behavior, whether denial rates vary by institution size or regulatory scrutiny, whether due diligence scope correlates with deal performance, and whether due diligence findings are priced into ABS credit spreads at issuance.

What is the difference between Part I and Part II of Form ABS-15G? Part I (Rule 15Ga-1) covers ongoing disclosure of repurchase request activity for outstanding ABS transactions — how many assets were subject to repurchase demands, how many requests were fulfilled, denied, pending, or withdrawn. Part II (Rule 15Ga-2) covers one-time disclosure of third-party due diligence reports prepared in connection with new ABS offerings, including the due diligence provider's findings and an independent accountant's report. The two parts serve fundamentally different functions and are triggered differently.
What is a representation and warranty repurchase request? When assets are securitized, the originator or sponsor makes representations and warranties about the quality and characteristics of the assets (e.g., that loans were originated in compliance with stated guidelines). If an asset is later found to breach these representations, investors or trustees can demand that the securitizer repurchase the non-conforming asset from the pool. ABS-15G Part I tracks these demands and their outcomes.
What asset classes are covered? The dataset covers all asset classes for which ABS-15G filings are submitted, including residential mortgage-backed securities (RMBS), commercial mortgage-backed securities (CMBS), auto loans and leases, credit cards, student loans, equipment loans and leases, floorplan loans, collateralized loan obligations (CLOs), and other asset-backed securities.
Why does the dataset start in 2012? Form ABS-15G was created to implement Sections 943 and 945 of the Dodd-Frank Wall Street Reform and Consumer Protection Act of 2010. The compliance date for the initial filing rules was January 2012. There are no ABS-15G filings prior to this date.
Are due diligence reports always in PDF format? No. Due diligence reports and accountant reports appear in HTML, PDF, or TXT format, depending on how the filer submitted them to EDGAR. However, PDF is common for these exhibits, particularly for reports from third-party due diligence providers. The dataset preserves all formats as originally submitted.
Does a single filing always contain only Part I or only Part II items? Not necessarily. A single ABS-15G filing may contain only Part I items, only Part II items, or both. The form structure allows reporting on both repurchase request activity and due diligence findings in a single submission.
What is the difference between ABS-15G and ABS-15G/A? ABS-15G/A is an amendment to a previously filed ABS-15G report. Amendments correct errors, update information, or supplement prior disclosures. The dataset includes both original filings and all amendments.
How do I distinguish between quarterly and annual Part I filers? Exchange Act reporting companies file Part I periodic reports (Item 1.02) quarterly, with a 45-day deadline after each calendar quarter-end. Non-reporting securitizers file annually, with a 90-day deadline after calendar year-end. The filing frequency and timing reveal the filer category.
