La Trobe Financial has successfully priced its fourteenth residential mortgage backed security (RMBS) deal to settle mid November 2022. The transaction – initially a partially pre-placed $500 million RMBS – was upsized to $750 million following strong investor demand.
The deal supplements a unique and diverse funding program – a combination of both institutional mandates and Australia’s largest Credit Fund at $8.5 billion taking total assets under management to $15.5 billion.
La Trobe Financial Treasurer, Paul Brown, comments, “The pricing and order book is a strong endorsement of La Trobe Financial’s high quality assets, expertise and long, consistent track record as Australia’s leading Credit Asset Manager and credit specialist.”
“Australian RMBS remains an attractive proposition for global investors, and demonstrates ongoing confidence in the sector and indeed the quality of La Trobe Financial’s lending approach.”
Director and Head of Distribution, Michelle Bannister, reflects on how the diversity and resilience of La Trobe Financial’s funding base represents value for borrowers, “Our unparalleled funding diversity gives us the resilience to remain in market for our borrowers and broker partners even when markets are volatile.”
“Through the uncertainty ahead, it will be more important for borrowers and brokers to have confidence in strong, well-funded lenders. The size and track-record of the La Trobe Financial $8.5 billion Credit Fund, plus $7 billion institutional and RMBS program helps deliver on this through our unique position in the category.
