    Edge Focus, a fast-growing private credit firm focused on consumer assets, today announced the successful closing of its inaugural asset-backed securities (ABS) transaction EDGEX 2025-1NN, securing funding for $150 million in collateral. The deal marks a major milestone in the company's capital markets strategy and establishes the foundation for its ABS issuance program, EDGEX.

    The transaction was led by CRB Securities who structured the transaction, with Nelnet Bank, a wholly owned subsidiary of Nelnet, Inc (NYSE:NNI, "Nelnet")), serving as co-sponsor. The offering featured two unrated senior notes that were placed with major institutional investors, reflecting strong demand for Edge Focus' technology-driven credit structuring, particularly in light of the challenging conditions currently roiling financial markets.

    "This deal represents a transformative step for Edge Focus," said Elliott Lorenz, co-founder and CEO of Edge Focus. "We built our platform to challenge legacy credit models and unlock smarter, more dynamic capital access. The success of this inaugural ABS offering validates our approach and sets the stage for a recurring presence in the securitization market. Completing our first ABS deal in a market that is experiencing such volatility is a real indication of the value we present to our investing partners."

    Edge Focus expects to be a frequent issuer in the ABS space, leveraging its proprietary technology tools to originate and structure high-quality, data-driven collateral at scale. These tools include Origin, Edge Focus' credit decisioning and pricing engine, and Lens, its portfolio analytics and performance monitoring platform.

    "This first transaction received strong support from a sophisticated group of institutional investors," said Jeff Andrews, Chief Revenue Officer at Edge Focus. "There is a clear appetite for differentiated, data-driven credit exposure, and we are excited to build on this momentum with future issuances."

    "We are thrilled to have led the placement of Edge Focus' inaugural ABS transaction," said Ryan Callahan, Head of Structured Products at CRB Securities. "The strong investor demand for this offering underscores the market's confidence in Edge Focus' innovative, technology-driven approach to private credit. We look forward to supporting their future issuances as they continue to redefine the ABS landscape."

    "Nelnet is excited to be involved in this transaction and for Nelnet Bank to co-sponsor Edge Focus' inaugural $150 million ABS issuance. We are thrilled to continue to expand our partnership with Edge Focus and support their continued success," said Judd Deppisch, Chief Investment Officer of Nelnet Financial Services. "Their methodical approach to credit analytics and proprietary technology platform brings a fresh perspective to the market, and we're excited to collaborate on this transaction and future initiatives to deliver value to investors."
