This marks BC Invest's fourth RMBS issued under the Ruby shelf with total RMBS funds raised now exceeding A$4.5 billion. The RMBS market is an integral part of our financing strategy and we are very pleased to see that institutional investors remain very supportive of the BC Invest story."
Mr. David Hinde, Chief Executive Officer of BC Invest, said, "by using pool insurance 98.9% of the Bonds issued under Ruby 2024-1 were rated investment grade. This structural feature is a first for BC Invest and has been well accepted by the range of institutions and credit funds participating. This transaction also includes assets from Crimson 2021-1P which is due to be called on 14 June, marking BC Invest's second call option exercised".
