ATLANTA--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Angel Oak Capital Advisors, LLC (Angel Oak), has completed AOMT 2019-2, a $621 million securitization primarily composed of non-QM residential loans. Consistent with its prior transactions, this securitization is almost solely backed by loans originated by its affiliated mortgage lenders, Angel Oak Mortgage Solutions, LLC, Angel Oak Home Loans, LLC, and Angel Oak Prime Bridge, LLC. The senior tranche of AOMT 2019-2 received a AAA rating from both Fitch and DBRS.

AOMT 2019-2 is Angel Oak’s largest non-QM securitization to date and its second issued this year. Angel Oak’s two securitizations in the first quarter of 2019 total $1.23 billion, already surpassing the total amount issued by the firm in all of 2018. This is Angel Oak’s 10th non-QM securitization, with a total issuance amount that now exceeds $3.2 billion.

“The non-QM market in the decade since the Great Recession has seen a resurgence, which is reflected in the size of our latest offering. We have a great understanding of the strength of the non-QM space because of our vertically integrated model. The size of our deals through the first three months of 2019 demonstrates our leadership in non-QM and the strong investor support that has followed,” said Sreeni Prabhu, Angel Oak co-CEO and chief investment officer.

AOMT 2019-2 is Angel Oak’s first securitization that complies with European Union risk-retention regulations broadening the ability for European investors to participate in the sector.

The latest securitization consists of 1,807 loans with an average weighted credit score of 712. The average loan amount is $343,633, with the majority of the loans issued in Florida, California and Georgia.

“Angel Oak has led the revitalization of both non-QM lending and securitizations through our focused approach and unique vertically integrated model. We intend to further the momentum in this growing sector through our programmatic issuance,” said Lauren Hedvat, managing director of capital markets.
