EJF Investments - Encouraging 2019 interims

EJF Investments (EJFI) delivered a 9.5% total return in H119. Despite the recent US rate cut receiving much attention, conditions remain supportive for US community and regional banks and insurance, whose subordinated securities support the US securitisation risk-retention investments that, along with related securities, account for 72% of EJFI’s portfolio. Management remains optimistic on this asset class. In April EJFI redeemed a collateralised debt obligation (CDO) netting £8.9m in total, having earlier purchased one in March (forecast IRR 10–11%) and completed a further $11m investment in September.
