Resimac has entered the Japanese capital markets with a $1-billion RMBS deal, which comprises the lender’s fourth transaction for 2020.
The non-bank lender has announced the financial close of Resimac Premier Series 2020-3, which is the first residential mortgage-backed securities (RMBS) transaction under its program to offer a yen-denominated tranche.
According to Resimac, this transaction (under which the yen denominated tranche is a Class A1 soft-bullet security type tranche) would form a part of its commitment to broader investor participation.
Commenting on the RMBS deal, Resimac group treasurer Andrew Marsden said: “This is a milestone transaction for Resimac. The inaugural yen securitisation creates new access to the Japanese capital markets and currency diversification, which is in line with our long-term funding strategy.”
Lead managers for Japanese yen included National Australia Bank (NAB), SMBC Nikko Capital Markets Ltd, and Sumitomo Mitsui Banking Corp.
