The Flagship Fund decreased its position (sold securities) in FirstKey Homes, Century Communities, M/I Homes, Meritage Home, MDC Holdings, and Taylor Morrison, bringing the total portfolio cost-basis to approximately $44.4M in invested principal as of April 30, 2023. (Note: This figure is invested principal and does not include any mark-ups or write-downs as a result of market changes.)
These adjustments to our holdings broadly reflect our analysis regarding the near-term outlook for the market, where we believe having heightened liquidity available for deployment may prove advantageous.
The Fund began purchasing single-family rental ABS and homebuilder bonds at the end of last year, and we plan to continue to actively manage this portfolio as long as the current dynamic of pricing dislocation in credit markets exists. We believe this period of exceptionally attractive pricing is temporary and most acute in primary auctions. As before, we intend to focus on ABS pools issued by the most creditworthy borrowers and where the collateral (i.e., the portfolio rental homes) consists of high-quality homes in strong locations that we might otherwise be buyers and owners of in our other funds over the long-term.
See the table below for a detailed breakdown of the fund’s bond and ABS holdings as of April 30, 2023.*
