The VP of Credit Risk Transfer, Laurel Davis, said that Federal National is delighted to successfully release their seventh and final assignment of the year to market.
Throughout this year, they worked to direct innovation in credit risk management, augment transparency of tools and data, and give consistent CAS offerings that showed growing investor demand. They expect sustained CAS assignments in 2017 and they predict to be in the industry within their subsequent intended issuance window in January, contingent on market conditions.
