(Fort Lauderdale, FL) - AD Mortgage, an established provider of non-QM loans and residential mortgage-backed securities (RMBS), and Imperial Fund Asset Management ("Imperial Fund"), an institutional investment manager specializing in the securitization of non-agency residential mortgages and the retention of non-agency RMBS tranches in portfolio, are pleased to announce the closing of AD Mortgage Trust 2026-NQM5 (ADMT 2026-NQM5), the platform's 33rd securitization.

AD Mortgage has mandated J.P. Morgan as Structuring Lead; ATLAS SP, BMO, Morgan Stanley, Mizuho, and Nomura as Joint Bookrunners; and Academy Securities, AmeriVet Securities, and Piper Sandler as Co-Managers.

"The investor participation in the ADMT 2026-NQM5 transaction reflects the established cadence of our programmatic issuance platform," said Dmitri Batsev, Managing Director at Imperial Fund Asset Management. "The consistent demand from a diversified institutional investor base is indicative of the underwriting standards applied to the underlying collateral and our regular presence in the market. Furthermore, this transaction demonstrates the ongoing execution of our strategy to reduce geographic concentration across our portfolio this year. By expanding our origination footprint regionally, we have broadened the credit profile of the pool, which has supported heightened investor engagement in this offering."

ADMT 2026-NQM5 represents the 13th securitization under Atlas A&D Opportunity Fund III - Imperial Fund's most recent investment vehicle, established in partnership with Atlas Merchant Capital - and the 8th transaction executed in collaboration with Canyon Partners, whose $250 million capital commitment continues to support the ADMT non-agency loan securitization program.
