The portfolio consists of residential and commercial mortgage-backed securities as well as other types of asset-backed securities. Federated will assist in the unwinding of the portfolio over a multi-year period with a focus on realizing appropriate values through a combination of constant surveillance and sales of portfolio securities when appropriate.
"Bayern LB has significantly reduced its portfolio of asset-backed securities over the last two years. In order to continue and possibly accelerate this portfolio amortization in a capital-efficient way we will draw on Federated's experience and advice," said Schmidt.
"Federated has demonstrated its ability to manage a variety of bond products and portfolios over decades. With the tremendous changes in the bond market over the last two years, clients are increasingly looking to Federated to help them realize appropriate value from their portfolios of asset-backed securities and structured products. We are honored to be selected to work with Bayern LB in this area," said Ceresino.
In the global marketplace, Federated has been managing investments for non-U.S. investors for more than 20 years and today manages more than $14 billion across a range of international and offshore stock, bond and money market portfolios. Federated has established a growing presence outside the U.S. For more than a decade, Federated, through its Frankfurt-based subsidiary Federated Asset Management GmbH, has offered an array of investment products designed to meet the needs of institutional investors and financial intermediaries in Germany and other European countries.
