Asset Backed Funding Corporation Mortgage Loan Asset Backed Certificates, Series 2003-WF1 class A ($251.2 million) certificates, are rated 'AAA' by Fitch. In addition, class M-1 ($14.6 million) certificates are rated 'AA', class M-2 ($11.6 million) certificates are rated 'A+', class M-3 ($10.2 million) certificates are rated 'BBB+', and the class M-4 ($2.9 million) certificates are rated 'BBB-'.

All certificates have the benefit of monthly excess cash, which, initially, is approximately 552 bps. Fitch believes the amount of credit enhancement, in the form of subordination, OC, mortgage insurance, and excess spread, will be sufficient to protect the certificateholders.
