How does Remara manage credit risk?
Remara has established relationships with proven and profitable loan originators and servicers. Remara undertakes a review of the credit policy and sets stringent portfolio and credit parameters to ensure a tight credit structure is maintained. Remara, on a monthly basis, will monitor the ongoing credit of the investment portfolio. Each originator retains a ‘first loss’ position in the loan.
What is the 'first loss' position and how does it work?
Remara has structured its investments to require the loan originator to fund and retain a ‘first loss’ portion of the loan. This means in the event of a credit loss, the originators capital is paid last in the recovery scenario. This results in an improved credit enhanced position for fund investors as the originator is aligned to fund investors with their money at risk ahead of fund investors.
Is Remara a bank?
No, Remara is an investment manager regulated by the Australian Investment and Securities Commission via a Financial Services licence.
