StoneX and DeltaTerra Develop New Synthetic Structure for Agency Credit Risk Transfer
The transaction offers institutional investors additional mortgage credit capacity and an efficient structure to access the risk and return profile of Agency CRT bonds. Through a customized credit default swap framework and related investment structure, investors can gain exposure linked to specified CAS and STACR securities, providing an alternative mechanism for managing Agency CRT exposure as market conditions and portfolio needs evolve.
“This transaction reflects continued evolution of the CRT market and demonstrates StoneX’s ability to apply innovative structuring expertise to complex market opportunities. Working in partnership with DeltaTerra, we applied that expertise to develop a successful structure–creating an alternative to direct cash bond ownership that can be tailored to an investor’s exposure and portfolio objectives. Importantly, the framework was designed with repeatability in mind, providing a foundation that can scale alongside changing investor needs and market conditions."
According to data obtained by DeltaTerra from Intex and Bloomberg as of
"We believe the Agency CRT market is approaching a meaningful supply inflection point. This transaction provides an alternative way to access that risk as market dynamics and investor demands change. Our investment process is built on the ability to go both long and short systemically important mortgage credit markets, positioning us as a natural counterparty on the 'other side' of this new marketplace.”
The structure is designed to provide economic exposure linked to specified characteristics of the referenced securities, including principal paydowns, credit performance and spread income.
