The company placed residential mortgage-backed securities with a face value of $520.9 million at a 3.06% weighted average cost of funding. The remaining value and economic return of the collateral will be retained by the company. The loans underlying the securitization had a weighted average coupon of 4.48%. At deal closing, AOMT 2022-1 consisted of 1,138 loans. The securitization had an average credit score of 744, a loan-to-value ratio of 70.6% and a debt-to-income ratio of 32.7%.
