“Home improvement lending continues to stand out as a compelling segment within consumer credit,” added Oliver Nisenson, head of private asset-based finance at PGIM. “Additionally, the aging housing stock is driving increased demand for critical home infrastructure and improvements.”
The transaction follows PGIM’s recent commitment to provide $4bn in funding for new land banking projects to Domain Real Estate Partners.
PGIM’s securitised products platform has assets worth $175bn and is part of PGIM’s $1.2tn credit investment platform.
