Waterford Capital and Bonwick Capital Partners served as the structuring and placement agents to execute the transaction. David Piotrowski, managing director at Waterford Capital was quoted in the release stating;

“We are very pleased with the execution and acceptance of this non-rated securitization. The asset-backed market is clearly welcoming online marketplace loans as a new and upcoming asset class”.

Eaglewood assembled the portfolio using its in house loan selection algorithm that includes a weighted average borrower FICO score of over 695 and a weighted average interest rate of 11-12%. All of the securitized loans are 36-month term loans.
