Splitero closes $283M HEI securitization with strong investor appetite

By Housing News

Another
home
equity
investment
(HEI)
securitization
is
hitting
the
market,
this
time
issued
by
financial
technology
company

Splitero

in
partnership
with
funds
managed
by

Blue
Owl
Capital,


Antarctica
Capital

and

Kingsbridge
Investment
Partners
.

The
companies
closed
a
$283.3
million
rated
HEI
securitization
on
Nov.
25
in
a
transaction
that
saw
strong
investor
demand.
In
total,
it
was
9.25
times
oversubscribed,
with
$2
billion
in
demand
for
the
A-1
senior
class.

Michael
Gifford,
founder
and
CEO
of

Splitero
,
said
in
a
statement
that
the
“overwhelmingly
positive
response
from
investors
to
our
inaugural
securitization
highlights
the
strength
of
our
platform
and
product
positioning
within
the
market.” 

HEIs
provide
homeowners
a
lump
sum
of
cash
in
exchange
for
a
share
of
their
home’s
appreciation,
which
can
be
used
to
pay
off
debt,
complete

renovations

and
cover
other
expenses.
The
investment
is
typically
repaid
when
the
home
is
sold
or
the
mortgage
is
refinanced.

According
to
Splitero,
its
product
does
not
require

income
verification

and
does
not
involve
monthly
payments.
The
company
offers
a
proprietary
Maturity
Match
platform
that
aligns
the
HEI
term
length
with
the
homeowner’s
remaining
primary
mortgage
timeline.

In
December
2024,
Splitero
announced
a

purchase
commitment

from
funds
managed
by
asset
manager
Blue
Owl
Capital.
The
funds
acquired
$350
million
of
HEIs
and
Splitero

expanded

to
several
new
states
shortly
thereafter.

“We
are
pleased
to
support
Splitero’s
inaugural
securitization
and
deepen
our
relationship
as
they
scale
a
solution
that
aligns
the
interests
of
homeowners
and
institutional
investors,”
Ivan
Zinn,
head
of
alternative
credit
at
Blue
Owl,
said
in
a
