EJF Credit Opportunities Strategy
EJF Credit Opportunities Strategy invests primarily in subordinated debt issued by U.S. community and regional banks. This strategy targets attractive risk-adjusted returns and seeks to produce long-term capital appreciation through direct and indirect investments in the private and public debt markets, while maintaining the optionality to securitize assets when advantageous, which can further bolster returns.
Investment Strategy
Bank Subordinated Debt
Subordinated debt issued by banks provides regulatory capital while offering investors attractive yields. These securities typically have 10-year maturities with 5-year non-call periods and fixed-to-floating coupon structures. Because they rank below senior debt in a bank’s capital structure, they provide higher income potential while supporting banks’ capital requirements.
Securitization of Assets
Apply EJF’s structuring capabilities to securitize assets, optimizing risk-adjusted returns while capturing additional upside from potentially shorter-than-expected equity residual durations.
EJF's Edge
EJF leverages its deep investment expertise in bank credit and extensive community bank network to source direct subordinated debt investment opportunities. EJF has been an active investor in bank subordinated debt since 2010, building a long and differentiated track record in the asset class.
