Rithm Capital Corp. (NYSE: RITM, “Rithm Capital” or “Rithm”), a leading sponsor of structured MSR-backed capital market notes, today announced it has successfully closed NZES 2024-FNT1, a $461 million securitized financing note backed by mortgage servicing rights (“MSRs”).

Leveraging Rithm’s scale, strong servicing performance and high-quality collateral, this first-of-its-kind, single-tranche non-recourse transaction provides fixed financing over the term of the expected life of the assets of 3 years. The $461 million transaction was over-subscribed and represents a significant increase from an initial $378 million offering size, driven by strong demand for the securitization’s unique structure and underlying asset portfolio.

“As a pioneer in investing in mortgage servicing rights, Rithm leverages its deep market insights and operating expertise to bring the benefits of this attractive asset class to more investors,” said Michael Nierenberg, Chief Executive Officer of Rithm Capital. “This novel transaction is a testament to the strength and breadth of the Rithm platform and to our attractive portfolio of MSR assets. We are thrilled to see such strong demand for this securitization from a broad range of investors, and we look forward to extending our leadership across the mortgage industry.”
