Macquarie Bank may be looking to ramp up its lending capacity after internally securitising $215 million worth of triple-A residential mortgage-backed securities (RMBS).
According to a report by Moody’s, the securitised issue, called Peregrine Series Trust 2009-1, was not sold to investors and remains on the bank's balance sheet.
Macquarie's mortgage securities were originated by the bank's relationship banking division called MRB.
The pool mostly consists of fully documented mortgages made to high net worth individuals, Moody's said.
